Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dark nebulae are made up of dense clouds of gas and dust that absorb and scatter light passing through them, thereby causing them to appear dark against the background of bright stars. This process of absorption is what causes the light passing through them to weaken or disappear entirely, making option D - absorption - the correct choice.
