The correct answer is:
D

When two lighter nuclei moving at very high speeds fuse together to form a single heavier nucleus, then the phenomenon is called nuclear fusion. The mass of the nucleus brained after fusion is less than the masses of the nuclei which are fused together. The lost mass is obtained in the form of energy.
