← ScienceWhich event occurs when core fusion creates iron?
A)Fusion stops via neutron absorption
B)Binding energy nears a limit✓
C)Hydrostatic equilibrium gets restored
D)Carbon burning rate dramatically increases
💡 Explanation
The core collapses because iron fusion does not release net energy; the curve of Nuclear binding indicates subsequent fusion requires energy input, therefore, fusion ceases to provide outward pressure, rather than other burn cycles beginning.
