Me I would have to say supernova
A supernova is an exploding star. The Earth would be instantly incinerated, of course. There is approximately zero chance this will ever happen, though. If there was a supernova near Earth ... it would depend on how near. Betelgeuse is a good candidate for a supernova "soon" (within the next million years or so). Scientists who have modeled supernova explosions don't expect it will have much of an impact. If a star nearer than Betelgeuse were to go supernova, then it might be more serious.
your mom would be the correct answer.
we would explode and if there were survivors they would freeze to death
Many people would have observed the Supernova, however it's discovery was attributed to Tycho Brahe. That's why it is called "Tycho's supernova".
It would supernova.
They will end up as neutron stars or even black holes. Usually they will first explode as a supernova (of type1a).
the whole solar system
It wouldn't and couldn't

It won't - it doesn't have enough mass. But if any star converts to a supernova, it will destroy its planetary system in the process, and even cause damage to nearby solar systems (should they have life, it would be in grave peril). After the supernova phase, what remains of the star would normally convert to a neutron star, or a black hole.
The gasses ejected from the supernova would probably transfer enough momentum to the black hole to blast it away from the exploding star. The black hole would gain some mass from the gasses.
