    Nuclear fusion produces elements that are heavier than helium.

    Explanation:

    Nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction in which two lighter nuclei combine to give a heavier nuclei releasing tremendous amount of energy in the process.

    When two nuclei fuse, a heavier nucleus is formed. This is a kind of nucleosynthesis, the synthesis of new nuclei.

    Hence fusion of two helium nuclei will produce elements heavier than helium. Hence the answer.
