In massive stars, three helium atoms fuse together, forming a carbon nucleus. This reaction heats the core of the star. The net mass of the three helium nuclei must therefore be 
A) higher than that of the carbon nucleus. 
B) less than that of the carbon nucleus. 
C) the same as that of the carbon nucleus (mass is always conserved).
