The star Betelgeuse has recently become very dim, causing speculation regarding whether it will soon explode in spectacular supernova fashion. A star going supernova will first shed debris, forming massive amounts of dust around itself, causing its light to become very dim. Stars fluctuate and change all the time, as does Betelgeuse, which dims and brightens in somewhat regular cycles. Therefore, an alternative possible cause of this extreme dimming is that two of these dimming cycles have converged.
If the statements above are all true, which of the following is most strongly supported by them?
A. If Betelgeuse is expelling massive amounts of debris, its dimming cycles have not converged.
B. The convergence of a star's dimming cycles tends to prevent that star from expelling massive amounts of debris and exploding.
C. Detailed understanding of the timing of a star's dimming cycles could be useful in determining whether that star is about to
