← ScienceWhich outcome results upon exceeding the binding energy threshold within stellar cores?
A)Onset of nuclear fusion reactions
B)Gravitational collapse accelerates rapidly✓
C)Neutron degeneracy pressure increases fast
D)Increased thermal radiation dissipates energy
💡 Explanation
Gravitational collapse quickly accelerates because exceeding the binding energy threshold causes a runaway fusion process; energy release enhances collapse rather than maintaining equilibrium. Therefore, the core implodes rapidly, rather than achieving new stability.
