how was manganese, a heavy element present in trace amounts in the human body, formed?
a. by fusion in small stars
b. by fusion in large stars
c. through the star cycle
d. through the big bang

Explanation:

Heavy elements like manganese are formed by fusion in large - mass stars. Small stars don't have enough mass and temperature to produce heavy elements through fusion. The star cycle is a general term and not specific to the formation of manganese. The Big Bang produced mainly hydrogen, helium, and a small amount of lithium, not heavy elements like manganese.

Answer:

B. By fusion in large stars
