-
A.
Herbig Ae/Be stars
Herbig Ae/Be stars are young, intermediate-mass pre-main-sequence stars that are still contracting toward the main sequence and are often surrounded by gas and dust disks.
-
B.
R Coronae Australis
R Coronae Australis is a young variable star embedded in the Corona Australis star-forming region, notable for its irregular brightness changes and association with reflection nebulosity.
-
C.
c Tauri
c Tauri is a Bayer-designated star in the constellation Taurus, known in modern catalogs as 87 Tauri.
-
D.
Trumpler 15
Trumpler 15 is a young, compact open star cluster located within the Carina Nebula, notable for its massive, hot stars and role in the region’s intense stellar activity.
-
E.
Zeta Tucanae
Zeta Tucanae is a main-sequence F-type star located in the southern constellation Tucana, visible to the naked eye from dark-sky locations.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
