Science

Which outcome follows faster core fusion with increasing mass from accreting white dwarf matter?

A)Type Ia supernova complete conversion
B)Stable helium flash thermal regulation
C)Gravitational redshift decreases observable luminosity
D)Neutron star electron degenerate equilibrium

💡 Explanation

A Type Ia supernova results because exceeding the Chandrasekhar limit drives runaway carbon-oxygen fusion. This overcomes electron degeneracy pressure, not hydrostatic equilibrium of a neutron star; therefore it undergoes complete conversion rather than stable thermal regulation.
