match each description below with the type of star that is described. You may assume that all of the stars described have approximately the same mass as the Sun. This is an adaptation of Thought Question 16, page 847 in OpenStax Astronomy. A. A star with no nuclear reactions going on in the core, which is made primarily of carbon and oxygen Red Giant B. A star of uniform composition from center to surface; it contains hydrogen but has no nuclear reactions going on in the core. K type main sequence star C. A star that is fusing hydrogen to form helium in its core. Main sequence star (K type) D. A star that is fusing helium to carbon in the core and hydrogen to helium in a shell around the core. A low mass star post its main sequence stage (F type) E. A star that has no nuclear reactions going on in the core but is fusing hydrogen to form helium in a shell around the core. Low solar mass (M type) main sequence
