Answer 1

Answer: The correct requirement for a black hole to form is:

C. The star must be 10 to 28 times larger than Earth’s sun, and a supernova explosion must have occurred.

Explanation: The least star that is larger than the sun is 10 times larger and a supernova explosion would have happen before a black hole to form.

Answer 2

Answer:

The star must be 10 to 28 times larger than Earth’s sun, and a supernova explosion must have occurred.

Option: (A)

• Explanation:
• According to NASA, for a star to get converted into a black hole, it needs to be as big as 20 times the Earth's Sun.

• That being the primary requirement, it also needs to 'collapse' into itself once the fuel in the star gets over.

• To support the process, there also has to be a 'supernova explosion' that sends the matter of the star into the nearby space.
