← ScienceWhich outcome increases within a stellar core as hydrogen fusion slows?
A)Radiative heat transfer dominates
B)Gravitational contraction accelerates✓
C)Hydrostatic equilibrium stabilizes
D)Neutron flux significantly decreases
💡 Explanation
Reduced hydrogen fusion lowers outward radiation pressure; thus, gravitational contraction accelerates via **internal pressure gradient force** because gravity overwhelms decreased outward pressure, therefore leading to collapse rather than radiative stability at this increased density.
