Solution

The correct option is D Red giant stage White dwarf stage Supernova stage
When a star dies, the star enters a black hole. There is a loss of hydrogen and the star forms a red giant star which burns highly. This star then transforms to a white dwarf stage which cools and ceases to burn. Th e next stage is the supernova which results in an explosion of the star burning and shining very brightly.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
