Nuclear fusion
No, a solar prominence is not a thermonuclear reaction. Solar prominences are large, bright features extending outward from the Sun's surface due to magnetic activity. Thermonuclear reactions, on the other hand, occur in the Sun's core where hydrogen atoms are fused into helium, releasing energy in the process.
The primary thermonuclear reaction in the Sun is the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) into helium nuclei. This process, known as nuclear fusion, releases a tremendous amount of energy in the form of heat and light. It is sustained by the Sun's high temperature and pressure at its core.
The most common sun reaction that happens in the sun is the hydrogen fusion. Other fusions like complex fusions among nuclei of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms also produce energy in the sun.

The temperatures are similar within about an order of magnitude, but the core of the sun is hotter. The thermonuclear bomb is at the temperature of DT fusion, the lowest temperature at which fusion can occur. The sun, in addition to fusing DT, is fusing HH, HD, DD, DHe-3, TT, He-3He-3, all of which ignite at various temperatures higher than DT.
These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.
The thermonuclear reaction in the sun produces vast amounts of energy through the fusion of hydrogen atoms.

The main thermonuclear reaction in the sun is the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) into helium nuclei. This process, known as nuclear fusion, releases a tremendous amount of heat energy and is responsible for powering the sun and providing light and warmth to the Earth.
Most nuclear fusion happens close to the Sun's center, or core. That's where the temperature and pressure are greatest.
The most thermonuclear reactions on the sun, take place in the core.
A fusion reaction.
"thermonuclear"
None, unless you count the sun's energy, which is thermonuclear.
At the core of our sun, Helium is created by the thermonuclear fusion of Hydrogen.
