Answer:
The correct option is;
[tex]_{1}^{2}\textrm{He} + _{1}^{1}\textrm{H} \rightarrow _{3}^{2}\textrm{He} + energy[/tex]
Explanation:
The second step of the fusion process is the reaction (combination) where a Deuterium combines with a hydrogen to produce one helium 3, 3He, nucleus and a energy photon as follows;
[tex]_{1}^{2}\textrm{He} + _{1}^{1}\textrm{H} \rightarrow _{3}^{2}\textrm{He} +\gamma \ (energy)[/tex]
After which the produced Helium-3 combines to form the Helium nucleus an emit 2 protons
Steps 1 and 2 are take place two times (producing 26 MeV energy) before the step three (the combination of the formed helium-3) takes occurs.
