Question

Giant stars evolve faster than smaller stars do, and they have a hotter core that creates heavier elements through fusion. When the core collapses in giant stars, due to their own gravity, they explode and violently blow the outer layers away from the core, resulting in
A.
a red giant.
B.
a supernova.
C.
a white dwarf.
D.
a nebula.

Answer 1

B. a supernova.

When a massive (giant) star's core collapses, the collapse triggers a catastrophic explosion that blasts the outer layers into space — a supernova.
