Explanation:
The discovery of the Higgs boson particle is primarily important for understanding why elementary particles have mass. The Higgs boson is associated with the Higgs field, which is believed to give mass to other particles through interactions with them. Its discovery would provide crucial insights into the fundamental nature of particle masses and the mechanism of mass generation in the universe.
Options 2 and 3 mentioned in the question are not accurate in relation to the importance of discovering the Higgs boson particle. The Higgs boson discovery is not directly related to developing technology for transferring matter without physical space traversal or creating better fuels for nuclear fission.
