The correct answer is:
B. The atoms of gas were pulled together by the force of gravity.
The formation of the Sun, as well as other stars, occurs when a large cloud of gas and dust collapses under its own gravity. As the gas collapses, it begins to heat up and form a dense core, eventually leading to nuclear fusion and the birth of a star.
