The smallest mass that a main-sequence star can have is about 0.08 solar mass.  The reason for this is that
A)   thermonuclear reactions begin so suddenly in stars of less than 0.08 solar mass that the star is disrupted by an explosion.
B)   protostars cannot form with masses less than 0.08 solar mass.
C)   protostars of less than 0.08 solar masses are not massive enough to contract.
D)   the temperature in a contracting protostar of less than 0.08 solar masses does not get high enough for nuclear reactions to start.
