Question

The question asks for the statement that is not true about the star. Choices A, B, C, and E are all true statements about stars that are larger and hotter than the Sun, which is what the arrow likely indicates. Therefore, the only statement that is not true is that the star is significantly less massive than the Sun. Larger, hotter stars are typically more massive than the Sun, not less massive.
