Answer:

b. Helium.

The most abundant element in the Sun, by far, is hydrogen, which makes up about 74% of its mass. The second most abundant element is helium, which makes up about 24% of the Sun's mass. Oxygen, on the other hand, is much less abundant in the Sun, making up only about 0.1% of its mass.
