Which of the following is NOT true about main sequence stars?

A.) The forces of gravity and nuclear fusion balance so the star does not collapse or explode.

B.) Temperature is directly related to brightness.

C.) The forces of gravity and nuclear fusion are not in balance so the star's core collapses while the outer layers expand.

D.) Temperature is related to size.

the statements the B is not true

Explanation:

In the stars the force of gravity tends to collapse them, by joining the atoms nuclear reactions that create an outward force until the two forces reach an equilibrium

The temperature of a star is a reflection of the energy within it and it is related to the intensity of the nuclear rations and not to the size of the stars
