Question

which of these two figures illustrates the orbits of population ii stars?
neither of these figures
figure a
figure b
population ii stars may have orbits of either type.
not enough is known about the orbits of population ii stars to answer.

Explanation:

Population II stars are old, metal - poor stars. They are typically found in the halo of a galaxy and have highly elliptical, randomly oriented orbits. Figure b shows orbits that are more randomly oriented and elliptical compared to the more circular and planar orbit in Figure a (which is more characteristic of Population I stars in the galactic disk).

Answer:

figure b
