Which of the following is not a good reason why white-dwarf supernovae are good standard candles for distance measurements?
A) White-dwarf supernovae are so bright that they can be detected even in very distant galaxies. B) All white-dwarf supernovae involve the explosion of stars of nearly the same mass.
