Why isn't the Andromeda galaxy's center a strong source of energy?

A) It only appears not to be because most of the energy is released towards a direction away from our Milky Way. B) It really is; dark matter in the space between the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way is blocking our measurement of the total energy. C) Only a relative trickle of gas falls into the black hole. D) It is a very old black hole that has already converted most of its internal mass to energy. E) Andromeda is a small elliptical galaxy that supplies very little free gas to the zone near the black hole.
