Question

black holes quiz
which description best summarizes the steps that take place during black hole formation, in the correct order? (1 point)
supernova explodes a massive star, remaining core expands; nuclear reactions diminish the effects of gravity.
a massive star depletes its nuclear fuel; gravity overpowers the star; supernova occurs; core of star collapses
supernova triggers fusion reactions; massive star implodes due to extreme radiation; volume and mass of star increase rapidly
a small star gains mass through fusion reactions; core of star collapses; increased radiation triggers a supernova

Explanation:

Black hole formation starts when a massive star runs out of nuclear fuel. Gravity then overpowers the star, causing a supernova explosion. After the supernova, the core of the star collapses under its own gravity.

Answer:

A massive star depletes its nuclear fuel; gravity overpowers the star; supernova occurs; core of star collapses
