Which consequence results when sustained solar fusion diminishes?

💡 Explanation

Reduced solar fusion decreases luminosity, therefore diminishing terrestrial photosynthesis because light energy is required for the Calvin Cycle. Other options are not primary dependencies of solar fusion, rather than influenced by other factors on different time scales.
