B Correct answer
Explanation

A naked singularity is a hypothetical gravitational singularity without an event horizon. Unlike black holes, which hide their singularities behind event horizons, a naked singularity would be visible from outside. This concept challenges the Cosmic Censorship Hypothesis, which proposes that all singularities must be hidden behind event horizons. Naked singularities remain theoretical and have not been observed.
