Which 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.
