Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the theory of stellar nucleosynthesis, elements heavier than hydrogen and helium are produced through nuclear fusion reactions inside stars. This process occurs during the star's life and during the explosive events that occur at the end of a star's life, such as supernovae. As a result, almost all elements heavier than hydrogen and helium were made inside stars.
