B.

The energy in nuclear fusion can't be generated in a controlled manner hence difficult to use in a nuclear power plant as a away to produce clean energy.

Explanation:

The reactions in thermonuclear bombs use very highly enriched radioactive elements that release a lot of energy at a go hence the enormous explosions they cause. A nuclear power plant would require this enormous energy to be released slowly to generate electricity. It requires great technology to control the release of this nuclear energy because it requires the control of the rate of chain reactions occurring at a particular time. If the chain reactions are too many at a time, the power plant could explode.
