← ScienceWhich consequence results when stellar hydrogen fuel depletes, but mass ensures Gravitational Confinement Fusion resumes using helium?
A)Increased neutron flux outward
B)Carbon and oxygen production✓
C)Decreased radiation emission
D)Stellar core temperature decrease
💡 Explanation
Carbon and oxygen production occurs because the Triple-alpha process initiates helium fusion. Therefore heavier elements production result, rather than neutron flux increase, and, because helium fusion needs a higher temperature, cooling won't initiate it, either.
