Which of the following statements about novae is not true?
A. A nova involves fusion taking place on the surface of a white dwarf.
B. A star system that undergoes a nova may have another nova sometime in the future.
C. Our Sun will probably undergo at least one nova when it becomes a white dwarf about 5 billion years from now.
D. When a star system undergoes a nova, it brightens considerably, but not as much as a star system undergoing a supernova.
Is the answer C? Since the sun has no companion star, it cannot gain accreted matter to initiate a nova and so it would not undergo a nova, it would just undergo a type I supernova?
Thanks!
