select the most accurate statement

a) Astronomers collect IR radiation with a mirror coated with gold.
b) We can detect radio waves coming from space on Earth because there is a
small wavelength window in that part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
c) Astronomers now know that the gas pressure inside the Sun is currently
maintained through a process called hydrogen fusion.
d) In about five billion years, the Sun will likely engulf the Earth when it swells
and becomes a red giant.
e) Gobekli Tepe is a temple that may have been built to commemorate the
devastating impact of the remnants of a comet that occurred over ten
thousand years ago.
