The correct response is **force of gravity**.

A supernova is caused by the gravitational collapse of a massive star at the end of its life cycle, leading to a dramatic explosion. In the case of a type II supernova, when a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel, gravity causes its core to collapse, resulting in a supernova explosion.
