Question

Electron degeneracy is what holds up a __________ against the compressing force of gravity.

Answer 1

Answer:

white dwarf

Explanation:

White dwarf

In a white dwarf due to high temperature and pressure the electrons of atoms are compressed to a very small space and this makes it impossible to add more electrons in the space as all the energy levels are previously filled and thus the electrons exerts a pressure which acts against the compressive force of the gravity in a white dwarf .

hence , the correct option is white dwarf .
