Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a star like the Sun dies, it expels its outer layers into space, leaving behind its core. The core collapses, and its electrons and protons merge to form neutrons, resulting in a neutron star. If the core is not massive enough to form a neutron star, it will become a white dwarf, which is mostly made of carbon. Therefore, the best choice is B) carbon.
