← ScienceWhich consequence results when electron degeneracy pressure stops fusion?
A)White dwarf's formation begins promptly✓
B)Carbon-14 radioactive isotope production surges
C)Neutron star density decreases greatly
D)Hydrostatic equilibrium is promptly reestablished
💡 Explanation
A white dwarf forms inside a star when degeneracy pressure arrests further fusion; because electron degeneracy pressure prevents gravitational collapse, preventing subsequent fusion, therefore carbon fusion stops, producing a white dwarf, rather than an imbalance because degeneracy provides robust pressure to oppose hydrostatic force.
