The answer is C an D: my advisor and the study of the universe.

The appositive phrase is noun ou noun phrase helps the sentence's meaning clear by adding essencial information, it adds descriptive words to a specific thing (a noun). In the example, "My advisor" is the description about Mr. Burns. " the study of the Universe." adds information, explaining the area of study called astronomy.
