Iron (Z = 26)

Explanation:

Stellar fusion is the nuclear reaction that occurs in stars. In this reaction, the nuclei build to form heavier elements. Stars fuse elements of lighter ones to heavier ones This fusion reaction occurs in their cores.During this process, a lot of energy is released.This process is also known as stellar nucleosynthesis as there is a synthesis of the different nucleus.Stellar fusion produces lighter elements of many types including iron(Fe) and nickel(Ni) in many of the giant stars.These elements remain trapped in the cores of stars.
