← ScienceWhich outcome follows faster core fusion with increasing mass from accreting white dwarf matter?
A)Type Ia supernova complete conversion✓
B)Stable helium flash thermal regulation
C)Gravitational redshift decreases observable luminosity
D)Neutron star electron degenerate equilibrium
💡 Explanation
A Type Ia supernova results because exceeding the Chandrasekhar limit drives runaway carbon-oxygen fusion. This overcomes electron degeneracy pressure, not hydrostatic equilibrium of a neutron star; therefore it undergoes complete conversion rather than stable thermal regulation.
