Some stars will evolve into white dwarfs. The mass of the sun is 2.0 x 10^30kg.
Which of the following cannot be the mass of a white dwarf?
A 1.2 x 10^30
B 3.0 x 10^30
C 2.7 x 10^30
D 3.2 x 10^30
Answer is D but I don’t know how to get it?

"The Chandrasekhar limit of around 1.4 solar masses is the theoretical upper limit to the mass a white dwarf can have and still remain a white dwarf. Beyond this mass, electron pressure can no longer support the star and it collapses to an even denser state – either a neutron star or a black hole."
