2. as a dying star explodes
3. as a star is first formed
4. in young stars

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer should be 2. as a dying star explodes

Explanation:

I do not have this class, but I am knowledgeable when it comes to stars. A dying star undergoing an event known as a Supernova compresses the core of the star much further than normal, causing rapid fusion to occur. This is extremely prominent in very large stars, which form extremely heavy elements such as Gold and Uranium.
