In the sun, two hydrogen atoms fuse into one helium

atom. How does this process produce energy?
Select one:

-A helium atom has slightly less mass than two hydrogen atoms. The mass difference becomes
energy.

-Two hydrogen atoms have two more electrons than a helium atom. These electrons become energy.

-Two hydrogen atoms have one more proton than a helium atom. This proton becomes energy.

-A helium atom has slightly more mass than two hydrogen atoms. This mass difference becomes energy.
