← ScienceWhich outcome prevents nuclear fusion in stellar cores?
A)Increased Coulomb repulsion effects✓
B)Enhanced gravitational binding energies
C)Reduced electron degeneracy pressure
D)Decreased neutrino interactions
💡 Explanation
Increased Coulomb repulsion prevents nuclear fusion because the electrostatic force between positively charged nuclei rises exponentially with decreasing distance; therefore, fusion necessitates extreme temperatures, rather than proceeding easily, because other forces are too weak.
