Answer:

It Considered to be a high mass star

Step-by-step explanation:

High mass stars go through a similar process to low mass stars in the beginning, except that it all happens much faster. Then unlike low mass stars, they have enough mass that gravity contracts the core raising the temperature and carbon can fuse into neon, then neon into oxygen, then oxygen into silicon, then iron.
