Which event occurs when core fusion creates iron?

💡 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.
