Answer;

c. during the same time span and from the same material as the sun

Step-by-step explanation;

-Scientists believe that a large gas cloud in space was condensed into what we now call the sun. Chunks of this cloud flew into orbit around the sun and eventually condensed into planets.

-According to the Nebular hypothesis, 4.6 billion years ago the Solar System formed from the gravitational collapse of a giant molecular cloud. This initial cloud was likely several light-years across and probably birthed several stars.
