C Correct answer
Explanation

When an object's internal pressure cannot resist its own gravity, it undergoes gravitational collapse. This is the fundamental process behind star formation and can lead to supernovae or black hole formation. A nova is a surface explosion on a white dwarf, fission is nuclear splitting, and a supernova is a stellar explosion - none describe the collapse process itself.
