A. The “sandwich” of space folds over, preventing anyone from seeing anything.
B. Light helps us see things and no light can escape out of—or be present in—a black hole.
C. Light intensifies inside a black hole, blinding anyone who peers past the event horizon.
D. Black holes destroy all light within 1,600 AU of their singularities, so we can’t see anything near or inside a black hole.

The correct answer is B. Light helps us see things and no light can escape out of—or be present in—a black hole.
Once something crosses the event horizon of a black hole, the gravitational pull becomes so strong that not even light can escape. This means that no information, including light, can reach an outside observer, making it impossible to see anything beyond the event horizon.
