Correct answer choice is :


C) RR Lyrae variables


Step-by-step explanation:


RR Lyrae variables are periodical unsteady stars, usually discovered in globular groups. They are accepted as regular lights to measure galactic distances, as a part of the infinite distance ladder. This class of unsteady star is identified after the prototype and glorious example, RR Lyrae. R Lyraes are vibrating parallel section aging stars of phantom class A or F, with a mass of around half the Sun's.
