Which physical consequence results when helium fusion wanes within an aging red giant star?

💡 Explanation

Increased gravitational core collapse results from waning helium fusion when internal radiation pressure decreases because fuel is depleting. This loss of outward pressure destabilises the star, leading to compression rather than a stable endpoint, triggering subsequent fusion stages.
