Which risk increases when the iron core in a massive, aging star exceeds theoretical Chandrasekhar Limit?

💡 Explanation

Gravitational collapse becomes inevitable because exceeding the Chandrasekhar Limit overcomes electron degeneracy pressure; therefore, electron capture initiates rapid implosion driven by gravity, triggering a supernova, rather than resulting in stable conditions or fusion elsewhere.
