Thermonuclear fusion reactions in the core of the Sun convert four hydrogen atoms into one helium atom. The helium atom has
A)   an undetermined amount of mass, depending on the temperature at which the reaction occurs.

C)   less mass than the four hydrogen atoms, this mass loss being converted to energy via the equation E = mc2.
D)   more mass than the four hydrogen atoms, the energy produced in the reaction appearing as this extra mass from the equation E = mc2.
