Answer:

The correct answer is option d) tightly packed electrons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

White dwarfs are stars that, after passing through their stages, end up becoming a stellar remnant.

This white dwarf stays on itself thanks to its tight electrons.

We conclude that the correct answer is option d) tightly packed electrons.
