Answer:
The correct answer is (c) The smaller star will last longer than the larger star because it burns less fuel.
Explanation:
The lifespan of a star is defined by its mass. The greater the mass of a star, the faster it burns up its fuel and thereby lasts for a shorter period of time compared to a star with a lower mass.
A massive star requires more fuel to burn, thereby reducing its lifespan.
