Answer:

C. yellow

Step-by-step explanation:

The stars have different color depending on their temperature, in general the more blue or violet a star is, the higher its surface temperature, and the more orange or red, the lower its surface temperature.

In the stellar classification, stars with temperatures ranging from 5000K to 6000K are G type stars which are characterized by having a yellow color.

An example of a G-type star is the sun, which has a surface temperature of around 5700K.
