The correct option is D Black holes
NuSTAR is a NASA-funded small explorer mission that carries the first focusing hard X-ray telescope to orbit.
NuSTAR will carry out a two-year primary science mission that focuses on black holes.
It will also offer opportunities for a broad range of science
investigations, ranging from probing cosmic ray origins to studying the
extreme physics around collapsed stars to mapping microflares on the
surface of the sun.
