Correct answer: C. Protostar
- A. Alpha Stage

- C. Protostar
- D. Star of Adam
Explanation
A protostar forms when gravity causes a cloud of gas and dust to contract before sustained hydrogen fusion begins in its core. It is therefore an intermediate stage between a stellar nursery and a true star.
