7. Which of the following is FALSE about nuclear fusion in the Sun? a. It is the source of the Sun's neutrinos. b. In making He, it liberates energy equivalent to the mass difference between four protons and a He nucleus. c. The probability of four protons colliding simultaneously to make a He nucleus is low, even in the Sun's core. d. It is dominated by the proton-proton chain. e. H to He burning in the core will proceed well into the Sun's red giant phase.
