What causes a Type I supernova?

(a)   In a binary star system, a giant star filling its Roche lobe dumps gas onto a white dwarf, bringing the white dwarf up to the Chandrasekhar mass limit.
(b)   Helium shell flashes push the outer layers of an asymptotic giant branch star out into space, leaving behind a stellar remnant.
(c)   The core of a massive star is gradually transformed into iron by thermonuclear fusion reactions until it collapses, causing the outer layers to explode off the star.
