Nuclear fission is preferred to nuclear fusion in the generation of energy because?
very high temperature are required for fusion
the raw material of fusion are not easily obtained
energy obtained from fusion is relatively smaller
the by product of fusion are very dangerous

D answer is absolutely wrong, fussion process produce more energy than fission, it's raw materials are cheap, bt d reason y it can't be harness is due to the fact that, it Involve high temperature, and most of the fussion substance cannot withstand the temperature, u guys made me to lost 2 point, pls correct it

The answer given is wrong because nuclear fusion produces more energy than nuclear fission but nuclear fusion requires extremely high temperatures.
Kindly correct this.

Greetings, The Myschool Team.
The correct answer is A (very high temperature are required for fusion) and not C(energy obtained from fusion is relatively smaller). In reality, the energy generated from fusion is higher than that generated by fission. However, nuclear fusion is not commonly used because the amount of heat energy needed to overcome the repulsion between nuclei is very high. This is most appropriately described by A(very high temperature are required for fusion), making it the correct answer. Thank you.

Nuclear fusion requires a higher temperature than nuclear fission but nuclear fusion produces more energy
