Correct Answer: needs
Solution : The third option is correct.
- The sentence is in the present tense, so the correct verb form would be needs to match the subject fuel .
- Needing is the present participle form of the verb, which is not appropriate for the sentence structure.
- Need is the base form of the verb, which does not match with the third-person singular subject fuel .
- Needful is an adjective meaning necessary , which does not fit in the sentence context.
Therefore, the complete sentence would be: The small amount of fusion fuel needs to be heated to huge temperatures.
