Answer:

(C) Exploding Stars

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Gamma Rays are often produced by exploding stars

Gamma Rays have the most energy of any wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma Rays are produced by the hottest and largest energetic objects in the universe. The only things large enough to produce that much energy are pulsars, supernova explosions, regions around blackholes and exploding stars.
