Which of the following cannot cause fission in a heavy nucleus?

The binding energies per nucleon for a deuteron $(_{1}H^{2})$ and an $\alpha$-particle $(_{2}He^{4})$ are $x_1$ and $x_2$ respectively. What will be the energy $Q$ released in the reaction $_{1}H^{2} + _{1}H^{2} \to _{2}He^{4} + Q$?

Assertion : It is not possible to use ${}^{35}Cl$ as the fuel for fusion energy.
Reason : The binding energy of ${}^{35}Cl$ is too small.

Solar energy is mainly caused due to

$A$ star initially has $10^{40}$ deuterons. It produces energy via the processes:
$_1H^2 + _1H^2 \to _1H^3 + p$
$_1H^2 + _1H^3 \to _2He^4 + n$
The masses of the nuclei are as follows:
$M(H^2) = 2.014 \, amu; \, M(p) = 1.007 \, amu;$
$M(n) = 1.008 \, amu; \, M(He^4) = 4.001 \, amu$
If the average power radiated by the star is $10^{16} \, W$, the deuteron supply of the star is exhausted in a time of the order of:
