A small star gains mass through fusion reactions; core of star collapses; increased radiation triggers a supernova.

Supernova explodes a massive star; remaining core expands; nuclear reactions diminish the effects of gravity.

The description that best summarizes the steps that take place during black hole formation, in the correct order, is:
A massive star depletes its nuclear fuel; gravity overpowers the star; supernova occurs; core of star collapses.
This sequence accurately reflects the process leading to the formation of a black hole, where the massive star's nuclear fuel is exhausted, leading to gravitational collapse after a supernova explosion.
