A degenerate-electron gas, such as occurs in the core of a red giant star, lacks the “safety valve” of a normal gas. This is because
A)   a rise in pressure releases more electrons, thus increasing the pressure further.
B)   a rise in pressure reduces the number of electrons, causing the core to collapse.
C)   a rise in temperature does not change the pressure, so the gas does not expand and cool.
D)   a rise in temperature lowers the pressure, causing the star to contract.
