Answer: C)Degeneracy pressure varies with the temperature of the star.
Explanation:
Pauli exclusion principle states that no two electrons can occupy same states. Thus, the gravitational collapse of a massive star is halted due to degeneracy pressure where at high temperature, the electrons occupy higher energy levels and this pressure balances the gravitational contraction. This degeneracy pressure does not depend on the temperature. It depends on the density of the fermions only.
