Answer: d.) the clouds of gases condense, the clouds rotate at high speeds, the clouds flatten into an elliptical disc, the planets are born

Explanation:    

Planets are formed from proto-planetary disk.

  • In the molecular cloud of dust and gases, a core is formed as the cloud condenses under its own gravity.
  • The cloud starts spinning at high speed gathering more and more mass. At the core, the temperature and pressure rises eventually startling a nuclear fusion process and a star is formed.
  • The rest of the material flattens into a proto-planetary elliptical disc from where planets are born.

Thus, the correct order is: d.) the clouds of gases condense, the clouds rotate at high speeds, the clouds flatten into an elliptical disc, the planets are born
