Solution

The correct option is B 1604
The explosion of a star in space is known as a supernova. It is the largest explosion that takes place in space. Supernovas can be seen very often in many galaxies.
But, due to dust blocks, supernovas are difficult to see in Milky Way galaxy. The most recent supernova to be seen in the Milky Way galaxy was SN 1604, which was observed October 9, 1604.
