Answer:

Main sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

H-R diagram refers to the plot of stars- absolute magnitude vs surface temperature. There are three main parts of H-R diagram:

A region in the H-R diagram where the star spends most of its lifetime is known as main-sequence. It is a band which extends from upper left side to lower right.

After main sequence, the star either becomes red-giant or super-red giant. Stars enter this region when they have used up all the fuel.

White dwarf stars are formed at the end for a low to intermediate mass star.

The correct answer is main-sequence stars.
This type of stars refers to dwarf stars, which are the most numerous in our galaxy. In fact, even our Sun is thought as a main-sequence star. Their primary characteristic is that hydrogen atoms are fused in their cores so as to create helium atoms.
