Which outcome results during stellar nucleosynthesis within a supergiant star?

💡 Explanation

Gravitational collapse occurs during stellar nucleosynthesis because electron degeneracy pressure can no longer counteract gravity, therefore an iron core implodes rather than fusion continuing to heavier elements because exceeding the iron's binding energy threshold prohibits further exothermic fusion.
