To support the prediction that the Sun will become unstable in about 5 billion years, scientists would most likely use the following two types of data:
**C. amount of iron that forms in the Sun's core**
**D. temperature and brightness of similarly-aged stars**
These two types of data are crucial for understanding the Sun's lifecycle and how it compares to other stars at similar stages in their evolution.
