A)supernova explosions
B)stellar winds
C)formation of planetary nebula
D)A and B
E)A and C

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

High mass stars can transport newly formed elements into the interstellar medium through both supernova explosions and stellar winds. These events release the elements into the surrounding space where they can eventually become incorporated into new stars and planets. Additionally, the formation of planetary nebulae can also contribute to the distribution of elements, but this primarily occurs in low mass stars. Therefore, the best choice is D, as it includes both supernova explosions and stellar winds as mechanisms for transporting newly formed elements into the interstellar medium.
