Answer:

Nuclear Fusion

Step-by-step explanation:

when a star's core collapses, it has no outer layer of resources to use, so it uses the resources inside of it, nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction in which atomic nuclei of low atomic number fuse to form a heavier nucleus with the release of energy.
