O She is motivating readers by giving them a reason to  learn more about the subject.

Explanation:

The scientific yet humorous book "A Black Hole is not a Hole" written by Carolyn Cinami de Cristofano delves into the concept of black holes. The book also provides answers and information about space and about the black holes and other findings of the concept of the black holes and other space-related questions.

The author raised the question "What is a black hole if it is not a hole?" not because she did not know the answer or anything. But rather than that, she posed this question to motivate the readers to learn more about the black holes and provides a reason to do that. And in providing such motivation, she takes the readers further along the ride in learning in a fun way about the various findings and questions about space that a person may have.
