    The answer is D, cluster 3

    Explanation:

    Firstly, we need to understand that star clusters are a group or category of stars bonding together through a form of gravitational force. Streamlining down to a G-type star cluster, A G-type cluster is mostly refereed to as the yellow dwarf and this is because an example of a G-type star cluster is the yellow sun and because it is assumed that the sun is the oldest star, cluster 3 is the relative answer.
