Option A is true, as nuclear fusion is the process that occurs in the core of stars, including our sun, to produce energy. Option C is also true because the nuclear waste produced from nuclear fusion is relatively less harmful than the waste produced by nuclear fission. Option B is false because unlike nuclear fission, its fuel supply is abundant. Option D is false because fusion has been achieved in laboratories, but it is not yet practical or efficient enough for large-scale energy production.
