Which consequence results when deuterium undergoes nuclear fusion?

💡 Explanation

Fusion increases the nucleon number, which leads to increased binding energy per nucleon through nucleon rearrangement, because the strong force is at its optimum. Therefore, the average binding energy increases, rather than other decay processes increasing under these conditions.
