Fusion reaction takes place at a higher temperature because:

1. atoms get ionized at high temperatures.
2. kinetic energy is high enough to overcome the Coulomb repulsion between nuclei.
3. molecules break up at a high temperature.
4. nuclei break up at a high temperature.

Fusion processes, like combining two deuterons to form a \({He}\)-nucleus are impossible at ordinary temperatures and pressure. The reasons for this can be traced to the fact:
(a) nuclear forces have short-range.
(b) nuclei are positively charged.
(c) the original nuclei must be completely ionized before fusion can take place.
(d) the original nuclei must first break up before combining with each other.
 
Choose the correct option:
1. (a) and (c) 2. (a) and (d)  
3. (b) and (d) 4. (a) and (b)
