Degeneracy pressure stops the crush of gravity in all the following except

A very massive main - sequence star

Explanation:

Degeneracy pressure refers to pressure expend by dense material, which is composed of fermions, which is an example of electrons in a white dwarf star. According to Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two fermions can exist in the same quantum state, actually give details about the pressure.

When there is stellar masses that is less than about 1.44 of that of solar masses, there will be gravitational fall in the energy, and the energy will not be sufficient to produce the neutrons of a neutron star, therefore, the fall is abstruptly stopped through the electron degeneracy to form white dwarfs. this result to the creation of an effective pressure that further prevents gravitational fall.
