← ScienceWhich consequence results when electron degeneracy pressure balances gravity?
A)Black hole formation is initiated
B)Supernova nucleosynthesis ceases entirely.
C)Stable white dwarf star forms✓
D)Red giant carbon fusion ignites
💡 Explanation
A stable white dwarf star forms because electron degeneracy pressure resists further gravitational collapse, preventing runaway fusion; therefore a stable remnant exists, rather than black hole formation or immediate carbon fusion.
