Why does primordial nuclesythesis end about 3 minutes after the Big Bang ? select one : a. The number densities of photons is too large at this time and the photons induce fission , stopping nuclei formation b. The universe is tooo hot at t=3 minutes c. The number densities of neutrons and protons and other nuclei are too small at this time and fusion fades out . d. Deuterium has a lifetime of 3 minutes , so after this time no more deuterium survives as it decays away ?
