Answer:

(a) True

Step-by-step explanation:

A supernova is a powerful light explosion that occurs in massive stars.

During a supernova, the star releases very large amounts of energy as well as neutrons, which allows elements heavier than iron, such as silver, uranium and lead, to be produced.

Therefore, the correct option is "a" True

Elements more massive than iron (e.g. silver, uranium and lead) are created from supernova events.
