Which outcome occurs when stellar hydrogen depletes inside a high-mass star?

A)Helium flash commences core fusion
B)Core collapses, creating a supernova
C)Iron production ceases abruptly afterward
D)Carbon fusion instantly ignites steadily

💡 Explanation

A supernova happens because once hydrogen runs out, fusion stops, reducing outward pressure; therefore, gravitational collapse is rapid due to insufficient radiation pressure, beginning with neutrino emission, rather than carbon or helium fusion alternatives.
