Type K supergiant stars produce iron before they explode as supernovae.

Part c

To determine

To evaluate: The following prediction:

Type F stars become much more luminous near the ends of their lives than they were as main-sequence stars.

Part d

To determine

To evaluate: The following prediction:

Type O stars do not become more luminous near the ends of their lives but do become redder.
