A star will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole after it passes through a red giant stage, depending on mass.
(A) A star will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole after it passes through a red giant stage, depending on mass.
(B) After passing through a red giant stage, depending on its mass, a star will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.
(C) After passing through a red giant stage, a star’s mass will determine if it compresses itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.
(D) Mass determines whether a star, after passing through the red giant stage, will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.
(E) The mass of a star, after passing through the red giant stage, will determine whether it compresses itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.

OA is D....IMO - B ...(B) .After passing through a red giant stage, depending on its mass, Do "its" here refer to red giant stage rather than star

i see a problem in D

D say : Mass determines....bla bla

it does not specify mass of what ?

What's the source ?

In B, the refferant of "its" logically is "star", which is the subject of the clause

there is no problem of "its" in B
