• D. neutron star

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A white dwarf
B red giant

A star with its mass less than or equal to about 8 times the mass of the Sun, will grow larger, as its outer layers start to expand due to the rapid fusion of helium into heavier elements. This phase of a star's life is called a red giant.
A red giant star will explode eventually violently, resulting in a brilliant planetary nebula, and the remnant core of the star, is known as a white dwarf.
