Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) a-r,t;b-p,s;c-q,t;d-r;

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Nuclear fusion : In stars energy is produced by hydrogen into helium.
Fission in a nuclear reactor : In nuclear reactor fission of U92235 takes place by absorption of thermal neutrons. Heavy water is used as a moderator during this reaction.
Co2760 emits β particle to attain stable nucleus. It also emits γ radians.
γ -rays are emitted by Co2760 during fission of U92235 , conversion of hydrogen to helium and during decay of U235 after absorption of neutron.
