None of the responses provided explain how nuclear fusion makes life on Earth possible. While nuclear fusion does release energy, creates magnetic fields, and blocks radiation, these processes do not directly contribute to the existence of life on Earth. Nuclear fusion, specifically in stars like the sun, is responsible for the production of elements like carbon and oxygen, which are essential for the formation of life.
