The correct response is **force of gravity**.
A supernova is typically caused by the gravitational collapse of a star, either when a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel and can no longer support itself against gravitational forces or when a white dwarf in a binary system gains enough mass from its companion star to trigger a thermonuclear explosion.
