The black hole has entered the popular imagination as an object too massive that neither light nor matter can escape its gravitational pull.

The correct idiom is 'so massive that' not 'too massive that.' When expressing cause and effect relationships with 'that' clauses, use 'so [adjective] that.' Option E correctly uses 'so massive that neither light nor matter can escape its gravitational pull.' Option A incorrectly uses 'too massive that.' Options B and D have additional issues with parallel structure and pronoun agreement ('their' instead of 'its'). Option C incorrectly changes the meaning by using 'massive enough that either' which suggests only one needs to escape.
