Solution

The correct option is B black hole
Black holes are formed when a supermassive star collapses under its own gravitational force after it has undergone a violent supernova explosion. Black holes are one of the most fascinating celestial objects in the Universe due to their strongest gravitational pull which even light cannot escape from. Light bends around the boundary a black hole which makes them look like circles of darkness.
