← ScienceWhich outcome occurs as gravitational confinement increases around protostar deuterium?
A)Ignition of deuterium-deuterium fusion✓
B)Increased protostar convection cooling
C)Higher escape velocity for hydrogen
D)Deuterium photodisintegration via gamma rays
💡 Explanation
Increasing gravitational confinement compresses and heats the deuterium core, therefore, sustained deuterium-deuterium fusion begins via thermonuclear fusion, rather than alternative processes like photodisintegration, which requires high energy photons and specific isotopes.
