When a red giang complete helium fusion and collapses, it becomes a white dwarf. The correct option is C. White dwarf are very dense stars that are usually the size of a planet. It is a stellar core reminant which mainly made up of electron degenerated matters; its mass is comparable to that of the sun while its volume is comparable to that of the earth.
