Answer 1

A pulsar is a type of neutron star that rotates very rapidly and emits electromagnetic radiation. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the last option or the third option. I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your desired help.

Answer 2

neutron star

Step-by-step explanation:

A neutron star is formed when a star which had a mass of between 10 and 29 solar masses collapses. They have a radius of about 10 kilometers and a mass of about 1.4 solar masses. When star loses its original mass the rotation speed increases drastically.

This rotation increases the electromagnetic field generated by the star which exits from the magnetic poles of the star. When there is misalignment of the stars rotational and magnetic axis the electromagnetic radiation is released once every rotation. This causes the EM radiation to be emitted in pulses.
