(A) 10 Billion Years

Explanation:

The sun is about 5 billion years old. We are about halfway through its lifetime.

The sun's lifetime is expected to be ___ length of time.

We must add 5 to 5 because 5 is one half of its lifetime and also the other half

5 + 5 = 10

The suns lifetime is expected to be 10 billion years old.
