A
25 solar masses
B
100, 000, 000 solar masses
C
1 solar mass
D
.1 solar masses
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A typical stellar-class of black hole has a mass between about 3 and 10 solar masses. Supermassive black holes exist in the center of most galaxies, including our own Milky Way Galaxy. They are astonishingly heavy, with masses ranging from millions to billions of solar masses.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stellar mass is a phrase that is used by astronomers to describe the mass of a star. It is usually enumerated in terms of the Sun’s mass as a proportion of a solar mass ( M ☉).

Detailed explanation-3: -Astronomers believe that supermassive black holes lie at the center of virtually all large galaxies, even our own Milky Way. Astronomers can detect them by watching for their effects on nearby stars and gas.

Detailed explanation-4: -These black holes are very tiny but have the mass of a large mountain. Mass is the amount of matter, or “stuff, ‘’ in an object. Another kind of black hole is called “stellar.” Its mass can be up to 20 times more than the mass of the sun.
