Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A star with a mass of 100 MSᵤn is believed to end its life in a supernova explosion, leaving behind a black hole as its remnant. This is because its core would collapse to a point of infinite density, called the singularity, which would be surrounded by a region of space-time from which nothing, not even light, could escape, called the event horizon. Therefore, choice C is the best one.
