I got E, though took a bit longer than I wanted.
A and B can be eliminated because of incorrect comparison.
In C and E, this took me sometime to spot, you cannot compare a star with "Sun's core". Incorrect comparison there too.

E stands.

ahhh...took nearly 3-4 mins...narrowed down to C,D,E..
IMO E

(E) As would be the case with any star of similar mass, once the Sun exhausts the hydrogen in its core, it will expand into a red giant and eventually eject

in E 'it' clearly refers to sun
though was tempted to select D for parallelism in d second part of d sentence but D is problematic..cuz pronoun 'it' did not have clear referent..may refer to hydrogen or sun

Definitely E

You can cut BCD because the subject becomes "The Hydrogen" which is obv not right.

A is wrong because the clause "it expands into a red giant" is weirdly punctuated.

So E

Its a very good comparision question.
A and E stands out because of it compares star and sun.
Since E uses As which is used to compare clause , its correct.

"E"

Took a while but narrowed the answer between d and e.

"IT" is unclear in D

E it clears refers to the core
