a supernova
a supernova

a brown dwarf
a brown dwarf

a white dwarf

Answer 1

At the end of its evolution, a star can become:

1. A neutron star
2. A white dwarf
3. A black hole (only for very massive stars)

While a supernova is an explosive event during the death of a massive star rather than a final state, it's also worth noting that a brown dwarf is not a final phase but rather a sub-stellar object.

Therefore, the correct answers from the provided options focusing on end states are:

- A neutron star
- A white dwarf
- A black hole

So the three correct answers are:
1. a neutron star
2. a white dwarf
3. a black hole
