Answer 1

The correct sequence in the life cycle of a massive star is:

**nebula, protostar, star, super red giant, supernova, neutron star (or black hole depending on the mass).**

So, the best answer is:

**nebula, protostar, star, super red giant, supernova, neutron star.**

Massive stars evolve from a nebula to a protostar, become main-sequence stars, evolve into super red giants, undergo a supernova explosion, and can end their lives as neutron stars or black holes.
