in denser regions with more space between atoms

Answer 1

The correct response is: in denser regions with little space between atoms.

When parts of a gas cloud collapse under their own gravity, the material tends to clump together first in the denser regions, where the gravitational pull is stronger and the density of particles is higher, leading to more effective gravitational attraction.
