Solution
The correct option is A nebulae
Stars are born from enormous clouds of dust and ionised gaseous matter of hydrogen, helium, and heavier elements, called nebulae (singular: nebula). When a nebula becomes highly dense, the particles condense together to form clusters of hydrogen, helium, and other heavier elements. Hydrogen combines to form helium with the release of enormous amount of energy in the form of heat, light, and electricity. This sparks the formation of a protostar (baby star). With time, the protostar gains more mass and energy to form a regular star.
