Answer:

B.) As a medium star

Step-by-step explanation:

A.) is incorrect. It is not a giant star because there a millions are stars which are much more massive.

B.) is correct. Our Sun has a radius of about 437,000 miles. Technically our Sun is classified as a G-type main-sequence star, aka. yellow dwarf star. The Sun is generally classified as this type of star.

C.) is incorrect. While the Sun's light is similar to the light of white dwarf, it is still most certainly classified as a yellow dwarf star.

D.) is incorrect. Neutrons stars are collapsed, incredibly dense stars. They are around the size of a city.
