Question

Responses

A) uranium

B) helium

C) iron

D) beryllium

Answer 1

C) iron

Iron is the heaviest element produced in large stars by nuclear fusion near the end of their life cycle. Fusion processes in these stars primarily produce elements up to iron, as fusing heavier elements consumes more energy than it releases, leading to the star's collapse and subsequent supernova explosion.
