B . Mass
The mass of a star is a fundamental factor that determines various properties such as temperature, size, brightness, and life span. The mass of a star influences its internal pressure, temperature, and nuclear reactions, which, in turn, affect its luminosity, color (temperature), size, and how long it will exist in its current state. The relationship between a star's mass and its life cycle is described by the Hertzsprung-Russell (H-R) diagram.
