Which of the following correctly explains the driving forces controlling the size of a star?

Fusion force pushes star material outward while the force of gravity pushes star material inward.

Fusion force pushes star material inward while the force of gravity pushes star material outward.

Fusion force and the force of gravity push star material outward.

Fusion force and the force of gravity push star material inward.

What best describes the process a star undergoes when a it burns through all of its Hydrogen fuel?

The star begins to fuse heavier elements and expand. Eventually, elements are no longer able to be fused and gravity forces the star to contract into either a white dwarf star or a supernova.

The star begins to expand as it fuses heavier elements. The star expands indefinitely, fusing heavier elements and pushing against gravity.

Gravity causes the star to contract until it is so small it can no longer be detected.

The star instantly explodes in a blinding flash of light known as a supernova.
