The answer is A. this process is only in the research phase
The process of fusion involves merging of atomic nuclei to
form heavier nuclei resulting in the release of enormous amounts of energy.
Fusion takes place when two low mass isotopes, typically isotopes of hydrogen,
unite under conditions of extreme pressure and temperature. Scientists continue
to work on controlling nuclear fusion in an effort to make a fusion reactor to
produce electricity. However, progress is slow due to challenges with
understanding how to control the reaction in a contained space.

Explanation:
The valence electrons are electrons found on the valence (outermost) shell of an atom.
When an atoms form compounds, there is an exchange of valence electrons between the atoms of one element and the atoms of another element.
Let us consider a typical example, sodium has one valence electron and chlorine has seven valence electrons. This means that chlorine needs one electron to complete its octet while sodium needs to release one electron in order to attain the octet structure.
So, sodium gives out its one electron and becomes a stable sodium ion and chlorine accepts that electron and becomes a stable chloride ion. This is how the compound sodium chloride is formed.
When a material is heated, the kinetic energy of that material increases and its atoms and molecules move about more. This means that each atom will take up more space due to its movement so the material will expand. ... Some metals expand more than others due to differences in the forces between the atoms / molecules.
