ANS: C
  The life history of a star is based on its initial mass. Stars convert hydrogen atoms into larger carbon
  and oxygen atoms. Once the star begins to consume the carbon and oxygen it produced, it increases its
  energy output. The rate of this is determined by temperature and size. Information can be found in the
  section Stars and Seas
