    The correct statement about nuclear fusion is the last one: "it produces nearly all the elements that are heavier than helium". Nuclear fusion is the process of combination of two smaller atoms into a larger one. It requires a high activation energy, which is reached in the stars. Elements from He to Iron were formed in the Sun, but larger elements require a higher energy and are formed inside supernovas.
