Answer to q. 1

Degenerate pressure

Answer to q. 2

b

Answer to q. 3

Asymmetry is the rule in planetary nebulae rather than the exception. A number of causes have been suggested. A disk of gas around a star's equator might form during the slow-wind stage and then deflect the fast wind into oppositely directed flows. Another star or planets orbiting the dying star, rapid rotation, or magnetic fields might cause peculiar shapes.

Answer to q. 4

a

Answer to q. 5

A planetary nebula is the result of an aging giant star expelling its outer atmosphere in repeated surges to form an object composed of ionized gas. A supernova remnant is the nebular remains of a supernova explosion.
