A Correct answer
Explanation

The indefinite article 'a' is correct because 'star' is used in a generic sense here - the sun is one of many stars in the universe. We use 'a' (not 'an') because 'star' begins with a consonant sound, and we don't use 'the' because we're not referring to a unique, specific star.
