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.
