Answer 2

B. become smaller

Step-by-step explanation:

White dwarfs are made up of atoms in the plasma state; as thermonuclear reactions no longer occur in its nucleus, the star does not have any energy source that balances the gravitational collapse, so the white dwarf is compressing itself due to its own weight. The distance between the atoms within it decreases radically, so that the electrons have less space to move.
