Correct Answer: a cloud of dust and hydrogen


Solution : The correct answer is a cloud of dust and hydrogen.

The first stage in the evolution of all stars involves the formation of a nebula. A nebula is a cloud of dust and gas which has been collected together by gravity in a process known as accretion. The gas and dust come together to form a protostar, which gets very hot until it turns into a main sequence star.
