1 answer

Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is estimated to experience a supernova approximately once every 50 to 100 years. Therefore, the best answer from your options would be:

d every 50 years.

However, it's important to note that the actual frequency can vary based on various factors, and we do not always observe a supernova in our galaxy due to the vastness of space and the time it takes light to reach us.
