Which outcome occurs during helium formation in stellar nucleosynthesis?

A)Increased nuclear binding energy
B)Reduced overall particle momentum
C)Elevated plasma ionization levels
D)Enhanced gravitational wave emission

💡 Explanation

Increased nuclear binding energy occurs because nuclear fusion transforms hydrogen into helium. The strong nuclear force overcomes electrostatic repulsion via quantum tunneling, releasing energy as a result. Therefore, binding energy increases, rather than decreasing momentum; ionization or gravitational waves, which are secondary effects.
