Sufficient quantity of hydrogen at a very high pressure and temperature
The onset of fusion reactions inside stars requires high density and high temperature. The high density is needed to bring atomic nuclei close enough together for the strong nuclear force to overcome electrostatic repulsion, allowing the nuclei to fuse. The high temperature is required to provide the particles with enough kinetic energy to overcome the electrical repulsion and fuse.
Stars are light sources. They emit light and energy through nuclear fusion reactions happening in their cores. The light we see from stars is produced by the immense heat generated from these reactions.
Arsenic is an element. It is made (like all elements heavier than helium) by fusion reactions inside stars.
Hydrogen and helium are primarily formed inside stars through nuclear fusion processes. As stars age and go through various stages of stellar evolution, they can also produce heavier elements such as carbon, oxygen, and iron through fusion reactions in their cores.

Natural nuclear fusion reactions occur in all stars

Neclear Fusion because stars are powered by that, even our sun
Oxygen undergoes fusion reactions in the cores of massive stars, where it can fuse into heavier elements. Oxygen does not undergo fission reactions naturally.

Fusion reactions in bigger stars happen at a slower rate than in smaller stars because the higher pressure and temperature in bigger stars allow them to overcome the repulsive forces between positively charged atomic nuclei, enabling fusion to occur even at lower rates. Additionally, bigger stars have a larger supply of fuel, which can sustain fusion over longer periods compared to smaller stars.
