Which consequence occurs when relativistic effects counteract gravity’s pull within neutron star material?

A)Starquake periodicity increases abruptly
B)Magnetar formation becomes less likely
C)Maximum neutron star spin decreases
D)Electron degeneracy pressure dominates further

💡 Explanation

Neutron star mass increases to the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff limit because general relativistic gravity enhances effective mass; therefore the maximum allowed spin frequency decreases as collapse occurs, rather than electron degeneracy dominating because gravity overcomes it.
