Question

Which description best summarizes the steps that take place during black hole formation, in the correct order?

A massive star depletes its nuclear fuel; gravity overpowers the star; supernova occurs' core of the star collapses.
Supernova triggers fusion reactions; massive star implodes due to extreme radiation; volume and mass of star increase rapidly.
Supernova explodes a massive star; remaining core expands; nuclear reactions diminish the effects of gravity.
A small star gains mass through fusion reactions; core of star collapses; increased radiation triggers a supernova.

The best description that summarizes the steps that take place during black hole formation, in the correct order, is:

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

The correct sequence of events involves the massive star exhausting its nuclear fuel, leading to gravitational collapse of the core, which results in a supernova explosion. After the supernova, if the remaining core mass is sufficient, it can further collapse into a black hole.
