iron
hydrogen
carbon
rewatch

Explanation:

In stellar nuclear fusion, when helium (atomic number 2, mass number 4) and oxygen (atomic number 8, mass number 16) fuse, the resulting element has a mass number of 4 + 16 = 20 and atomic number 2 + 8 = 10, which corresponds to neon. Iron is formed from heavier fusion processes, hydrogen is lighter than helium and oxygen, and carbon has a lower atomic number and mass number than the product of helium - oxygen fusion.

Answer:

A. neon
