Starburst galaxies
(a) tend to be spiral.
(b) produce hundreds of stars per year.
(c) have jets coming from an active galactic nucleus.
(d) are noted for their supermassive black holes.
To determine: The correct option for the statement “Starburst galaxies”.
Answer:
The correct option for the statement “Starburst galaxies” is option (b).
Explanation:
A starburst galaxy is a universe going through an extraordinarily high pace of star development when contrasted with different worlds using the entirety of its gas supplies to frame stars.
In Milky Way galaxy, the rate of star formation is around three solar mass per year. However, the starburst galaxy is forming the stars with a rate of 33 times higher than that of the Milky Way galaxy. Some of the starburst galaxies include M82, NGC 4038/NGC 4039 (the Antennae Galaxies), and IC 10.
Conclusion:
Therefore, The correct option for the statement “Starburst galaxies” is option (b).
