A)thermal pressure
B)turbulent motions
C)magnetic fields
D)fragmentation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fragmentation increases the number of smaller, more concentrated regions within the cloud, which actually enhances gravitational contraction rather than counteracting it. Thermal pressure, turbulent motions, and magnetic fields can all resist gravitational contraction to varying degrees.
