A Correct answer
Explanation

The event horizon is the boundary marking the point of no return around a black hole - beyond this boundary, nothing, not even light, can escape the black hole's gravitational pull. It's a one-way membrane in spacetime where all future-directed paths lead inward toward the singularity. The other options ('black boundary', 'loop horizon', 'gravity boundary') are not standard physics terminology.
