Solution

The correct option is B Stars
A luminous ball of gas, mostly hydrogen and helium, held together by its own gravity is known as star. In the core of stars, nuclear fusion reactions occur. These reactions support the star against gravity and produce photons and heat, as well as small amounts of heavier elements. Stars are heavenly bodies which radiate heat and light. The closest star to Earth is sun.
