Look at the image and read the excerpt from "Black Hole Beginnings."

Several spheres shown in movement by wispy tails behind them. Some collide and merge together.

As the star material gathers, its inward pressure grows. The nuclei respond by zipping and zooming faster and faster, veering away from each other all the while. However, when the pressure gets high enough, the nuclei are going so fast that their speed overpowers their repulsion. Slamming into one another, they push through each other’s force fields and fuse.

Which statement correctly explains how the image and text work together to support understanding?

The image shows nuclei moving away from each other, and the text explains why they move away from each other.
The image shows the speed and motion of the nuclei, and the text explains why they fuse.
The image shows the pressure created as material gathers, and the text explains the speed of the nuclei.
The image shows the nuclei’s force fields, and the text explains how the force fields form.
