Q. What is the correct sequence of stages in the life cycle of a star?
Answer: Nebula → Red Dwarf → White Dwarf → Supernova
Notes: Stars have a life cycle that starts from a nebula, a cloud of dust and plentiful gas. From this, a protostar is formed which, if it has sufficient mass, becomes a red dwarf. As the star exhausts its hydrogen, it becomes a white dwarf and eventually, it may explode as a supernova. Not all stars go through the same cycle, as it depends on their mass.
