Correct Answer: Nebular hypothesis


Solution : The correct answer is the Nebular hypothesis .

The prevailing model for planetary formation is the nebular hypothesis, suggesting that approximately 4.6 billion years ago, the Solar System originated from the gravitational collapse of a vast molecular cloud. This cloud, spanning several light-years, underwent a collapse, giving rise to numerous stars, including our sun.
