Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

High-speed collisions between atoms and subatomic particles are necessary to overcome the Coulomb barrier, and this means high temperature. The gas density must also be high so the number of collisions per second is large. Only near a star's center are these conditions right for nuclear reactions to occur.

It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
