Given below are two statements :

Statement (I) : When two or more light nuclei combine together to form a heavier nucleus is called as nuclear fusion.

Statement (II) : For the nuclear fusion, a temperature of the order of $10^8$ Kelvin is required.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

Statement I: Nuclear fusion is indeed the process by which two or more light nuclei combine together to form a heavier nucleus.

Statement II: The required temperature for nuclear fusion is indeed around 108 Kelvin (or 10^8 degrees Celsius), which is the temperature at the core of the Sun.

Thus, both statements are correct and consistent with each other.
