Which statements correctly describe the process of nuclear fusion?

it happens only to large atoms.
it occurs naturally in the sun.
it releases a large amount of energy.
it bonds atoms together to create molecules.
it involves the joining of two atomic nuclei.

The following options are correct about nuclear fusion

In Physics ,a nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei are combined to form one or more different atomic nuclei. It releases a large amount of energy and the nucleus made by fusion is heavier than either of the starting nuclei. This reaction naturally occurs on the sun as Hydrogen atoms are fused together to make helium.

explanation:

each principal energy level above the first contains one s orbital and three p orbitals. a set of three p orbitals, called the p sublevel, can hold a maximum of six electrons. therefore, the second level can contain a maximum of eight electrons - that is, two in the s orbital and 6 in the three p orbitals.
