The correct answer is C) galaxy. The Milky Way is a large spiral galaxy containing over 200 billion stars. Galaxies are vast collections of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity. In contrast, a nebula is a cloud of gas and dust in space, a nova is a sudden increase in the brightness of a star, and a cluster is a group of stars that are gravitationally bound together. The Milky Way is the galaxy in which our solar system and the Earth are located, making it a prime example of a galaxy as the correct answer choice.
