Solution
When a high-mass star runs out of fuel, it may ultimately become:
a) A black hole c) A neutron star
These are the two possible outcomes for a high-mass star after it has exhausted its nuclear fuel. The star will undergo a supernova explosion, and its remaining core will collapse under gravity. If the core is massive enough, it will become a black hole. If it's less massive, it will become a neutron star.
A white dwarf (b) and a planetary nebula (d) are typically the end stages of a star with a similar mass to our Sun, not a high-mass star.
