Which type of star has the shortest life span?

Question

the medium sized stars
the smallest stars
the largest stars
all stars have the same life span

Answer 1

The type of star that has the shortest lifespan is the largest stars. Massive stars (like O-type and B-type stars) burn through their nuclear fuel much more quickly than smaller stars, leading to shorter lifespans, often only a few million years, compared to billions of years for medium-sized (like the Sun) and smaller stars (like red dwarfs).
