Solution

The correct option is C Black Hole
Black hole is a place in space in which matter has been squeezed in a tiny place and gravitational pull is thus so high that even light cannot escape the black hole. Because no light can escape black holes, they are invisible. Black holes are generally formed towards the end of a star's life.
