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.
