Main-sequence stars apparently do not have masses larger than a few hundred solar masses. The reason that stars of larger mass do not exist is that
A)   their temperature becomes so high that they are disrupted by the pressure of radiation inside them.
B)   the thermonuclear reactions in such stars proceed so rapidly that the star explodes.
C)   such stars contract directly to become planetlike objects.
D)   interstellar clouds of greater mass break up to become binary or multiple-star systems, not single stars.
