    Answer:-

    b. helium to carbon and oxygen

    Explanation:-

    After the red giant phase, stars like the sun follow a different evolutionary path than more massive stars. An alternative fusion process to the proton-proton chain now occurs.

    The star will convert all of its core helium into carbon and oxygen, and then fusion will end
