Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stars are bundles of hot gases which primarily consists of hydrogen gas and then helium. Their shine is due to thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium or burning of hydrogen gas into helium in their cores which releases large amount of energy and later this process leads to formation of some heavier elements.
