Which outcome occurs during nuclear fusion when light nuclei combine?

💡 Explanation

Fusion increases the binding energy per nucleon because the daughter nucleus achieves a more stable configuration. Therefore, total mass decreases, rather than increasing binding lowers mass; stable nucleon states mean stronger and not weaker forces.
