Final answer:
The lowest-mass stars cannot sustain nuclear reactions like the sun. Sun-like stars go through different stages of evolution before becoming stellar remnants.
Step-by-step explanation:
The lowest-mass stars cannot have the same fate as sun-like stars because they are not massive enough to sustain the nuclear reactions that power the sun. Stars with masses less than about 0.075 times the mass of the Sun are called brown dwarfs or planets and never achieve high enough central temperatures to ignite nuclear reactions. On the other hand, sun-like stars have enough mass to sustain nuclear reactions, and as they age, they go through different stages of evolution before eventually becoming white dwarfs or other stellar remnants.
