Which description best summarizes the steps that take place during black hole formation, in the correct order?(1 point) Responses 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 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. A small star gains mass through fusion reactions; core of star collapses; increased radiation triggers a supernova. A small star gains mass through fusion reactions; core of star collapses; increased radiation triggers a supernova. Supernova triggers fusion reactions; massive star implodes due to extreme radiation; volume and mass of star increase rapidly.

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 represents the process where a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel, leading to gravitational collapse, resulting in a supernova explosion, followed by the collapse of the core into a black hole.
