Which description best summarizes the steps that take place during black hole formation, in the correct order?(1 point)ResponsesSupernova triggers fusion reactions; massive star implodes due to extreme radiation; volume and mass of star increase rapidly.Supernova triggers fusion reactions; massive star implodes due to extreme radiation; volume and mass of star increase rapidly.A massive star depletes its nuclear fuel; gravity overpowers the star; supernova occurs; core of star collapses.A massive star depletes its nuclear fuel; gravity overpowers the star; supernova occurs; core of star collapses.Supernova explodes a massive star; remaining core expands; nuclear reactions diminish the effects of gravity.Supernova explodes a massive star; remaining core expands; nuclear reactions diminish the effects of gravity.A small star gains mass through fusion reactions; core of star collapses; increased radiation triggers a supernova.

Answer 1

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 where a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel, leading to gravitational dominance, a supernova explosion, and the subsequent collapse of the core, which can result in a black hole.
