← ScienceWhich outcome occurs during stellar nucleosynthesis from gravitational confinement?
A)Helium conversion into heavier elements✓
B)Increased neutron flux and beta decay
C)Deuterium production from neutron bombardment
D)Rapid proton-proton chain fragmentation
💡 Explanation
Stellar nucleosynthesis produces heavier elements because gravitational confinement increases temperature and pressure, thus enabling nuclear fusion. This overcomes the Coulomb barrier, therefore helium fuses into carbon and heavier elements, rather than lighter products via fission
