Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The low end is set by the resistance to gravitational contraction provided by degeneracy pressure. Stars less than about 0.1 (actually 0.08 ) solar masses do not have enough gravity to compress their cores to high enough temperatures to begin nuclear fusion. The high end is set by radiation pressure: stars more massive than 1-200 solar masses produce so much light that they blow off their outer atmospheres. More mass cannot, therefore, be sustained.
