Solution

The correct option is C mass
A star's life and death depends on the mass of the star. A star's mass is determined by the amount of matter that is available in its nebula, the giant cloud of gas and dust from which it was born. Generally, the more massive the star, the faster it burns up its fuel supply, and hence, shorter its life.
