What outcome occurs when a large star's core undergoes neutron decay?

A)A Type II supernova explosion
B)Increased rate of nuclear fission
C)Black hole event horizon formation
D)Thorium-232 undergoes alpha decay

💡 Explanation

Core collapse happens via neutron decay because electron capture reduces electron degeneracy pressure (Pauli exclusion principle), therefore triggering runaway gravitational collapse into type II supernova rather than steady burning.
