Which outcome results in stellar nucleosynthesis due to higher temperatures?

A)Increased heavy element isotopic abundance
B)Decreased hydrogen fusion reaction rate
C)Reduced stellar gravitational equilibrium
D)Enhanced neutron capture cross-sections

💡 Explanation

Increased heavy element isotopic abundance occurs because a higher temperature allows for overcoming the increased Coulomb barrier via quantum tunneling, resulting in fusion reactions, therefore, shifting element composition higher rather than stopping fusion.
