What would happen to the core of the Sun if its temperature rose slightly?

A) The rate at which fusion occurs would decrease, leading to a contraction of the core, which would in turn cause the temperature to rise even further. B) The rate at which fusion occurs would increase, leading to a contraction of the core, which would in turn cause the temperature to rise even further. C) The rate at which fusion occurs would increase, leading to an expansion of the core, which would in turn cause the temperature to drop back down. D) The rate at which fusion occurs would decrease, leading to an expansion of the core, which would in turn cause the temperature to drop back down.
