25pts and brainlyiest if you get right What is the best explanation for how nuclear fusion contributes to the life cycle of a star?
A) Hydrogen in the core of the star is converted to helium by nuclear fusion. When the hydrogen supply in the core begins to run out, and the star is no longer generating heat by fusion, the core becomes stable and expands.
B) Helium in the core of the star is converted to hydrogen by nuclear fusion. When the hydrogen supply in the core begins to run out, and the star is no longer generating heat by fusion, the core becomes unstable and expands.
C) Hydrogen in the core of the star is converted to helium by nuclear fusion. When the hydrogen supply in the core begins to run out, and the star is no longer generating heat by fusion, the core becomes unstable and contracts.
D) Helium in the core of the star is converted to hydrogen by nuclear fusion. When the hydrogen supply in the core begins to run out, and the star is no longer generating heat by fusion, the core becomes unstable and contracts.
