, 4|Page
A) The rate at which fusion occurs would increase,
leading to a contraction of the core, which would in
turn cause the temperature to rise even further.

decrease, leading to a contraction of the core,
which would in turn cause the temperature to rise
even further.
C) The rate at which fusion occurs would increase,
leading to an expansion of the core, which would in
turn cause the temperature to drop back down.
