a. It is a region of the H-R diagram along which stars can be found to be arranged as they undergo helium core fusion.

b. It is the track followed by low-mass stars as they age between their helium flash and the point at which their planetary nebula has been ejected.

c. It is the path in the H-R diagram followed by white dwarf stars as they age.

d. It is the track followed by Sun-like stars as they evolve off the main sequence, after they become subgiants and before their helium flash.

e. It is the track followed by high-mass stars as they undergo progressive fusion of different nuclei.
