D) It is an object that results from the death of a massive star

Explanation:

Neutron star -

It is a celestial object with smaller radius, of approximately 18 miles / 30 km and with high density, Its composition is mainly of the closed packed neutrons.

Neutron stars, are assumed to be formed due to the gravitational collapse of the massive star after the supernova explosion, and the star is sufficiently massive to produce black hole.
