Answer:

c. propagation of the shockwave to the surface of star

In the death of a high-mass star, the shockwave reaching the surface occurs within hours.

Explanation:

  1. The collapse of the core in the death of a high-mass star leads to a series of events, including the formation of a neutron star and a supernova explosion. The shockwave from the rebounding core propagates to the surface of the star within a few hours.
