Hydrogen nuclei, which are protons
During the solar nuclear reaction, in the proton-proton chain, four hydrogen nuclei (protons) bond together to form a helium nucleus. Two protons combine to form a deuterium nucleus, which then fuses with another proton to form helium-3. Two of the helium-3 nuclei then fuse to form helium-4.
A helium nucleus, also known as an alpha particle, is formed during a solar nuclear reaction by the fusion of four hydrogen nuclei.
False. A nuclear reaction in which the nuclei of atoms join together is called fusion, not fission. Fusion is the process that powers the sun and hydrogen bombs. Fission, on the other hand, is when the nucleus of an atom is split into two or more smaller nuclei.
The solar nuclear reaction where four nuclei bond together is known as the proton-proton chain reaction. In this process, four hydrogen nuclei (protons) combine to form a helium nucleus, releasing energy in the form of gamma rays and positrons. This reaction is the primary energy source for most main-sequence stars, including the Sun.
The nuclear reaction in which nuclei combine to form more massive nuclei is called nuclear fusion. This process releases large amounts of energy, such as in the sun.
False. Combining nuclei to form a new nucleus is called nuclear fusion. Nuclear fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus.

I think you mean nuclear fusion, the reaction that powers the sun.

Nuclear Fusion
The nuclei of two atoms of a smaller element join together to form a different element, releasing large amounts of energy.
During nuclear fission the atomic nucleus is splitted.
The splitting of nuclei of atoms is called nuclear fission. This process is categorized as either a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay reaction.
The nuclear reaction that combines hydrogen to form helium and produces most of the sun's energy is called nuclear fusion. In this reaction, hydrogen nuclei (protons) fuse together to form helium nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat.
