Carbon fusion occurs in the cores of ​ (a)   stars, typically those with masses greater than 8 times the Sun's mass. These stars have the necessary gravitational pressure and core temperatures (around 600 million Kelvin) to initiate the process. ​ (b)   stars, like our Sun, do not reach the required temperatures for carbon fusion. Generally, nucleosynthesis of Carbon in these stars' cores result in ​ (c)   as the product, which can take approximately ​ (d)   .

• high-mass
• Low-mass
• Oxygen
