Question 28 • AZ-Earth and Space Science A

Which type of star will become a black hole when it dies?

Answer
A
a protostar
B
a supergiant
C
a white dwarf
D
a red dwarf

Explanation

A very massive star can end its life in a supernova, and its core may collapse into a black hole. A supergiant is the type of star in this list massive enough to have that possible ending. White dwarfs and red dwarfs do not become black holes, while a protostar is still forming.
