Which outcome results when stellar fusion byproducts undergo beta decay within a white dwarf?

💡 Explanation

Increased electron degeneracy pressure occurs because beta decay converts neutrons into protons, this process increases the electron density. Therefore degeneracy pressure is boosted by excess electrons rather than leading to fusion because extreme gravitational forces are absent.
