The correct response is **force of gravity**.
A supernova typically occurs when a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel and can no longer support itself against gravitational collapse, leading to a violent explosion. In the case of a white dwarf in a binary system, it can also occur due to accreting material until it reaches a critical mass.
