Which statement is true about the energy release in nuclear processes?

**Nuclear fusion** source of energy in Sun, proton-proton cycle 4p→He+2e⁺+2ν+26.7 MeV, high temperature ~10⁷ K needed to give kinetic energy to overcome repulsion, thermal motion at high T allows tunneling, energy release because He BE/A higher than H. Fission releases energy because heavy nucleus BE/A ~7.6 MeV splits to intermediate ~8.5 MeV. Nuclear processes (fission and fusion) release energy when less tightly bound nuclei transform into more tightly bound ones, increasing the binding energy per nucleon. Using E_n = -13.6/n² eV, r_n = n² a₀, L = n h/2π, R = R₀ A^¹/³, BE = Δm c² and 1 u = 9

Which of the following statements is correct?

Adaptive radiation results in species diversity as organisms adapt to different ecological niches from a common ancestor. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

Which of the followings statements is correct?

Homo habilis, also known as the ‘handy man, ’ was the first hominid to use stone tools. This follows from NCERT principle where relation explains outcome clearly for students.

Which of the following statements is correct?

Homo erectus is known as the first hominid to use fire, marking an important stage in human evolution. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.
