It's really hard to tell for an individual star whether it will become a black hole. That depends on the mass of the star that remains after it runs out of fuel. Please note that in a supernova explosion, a large portion of a star's mass can be blown off into space. However, in general it is the most massive stars that are most likely to become black holes. Moreover, a supergiant star is not only very massive, but it is also likely to run out of fuel in the near future - meaning, in the next few million years - and therefore collapse (perhaps into a black hole, perhaps into a neutron star).
Yes, a mid-sized star can eventually become a white dwarf or a black dwarf. After exhausting its nuclear fuel, the star sheds its outer layers to form a planetary nebula, leaving behind a white dwarf. Over trillions of years, a white dwarf may cool and fade into a black dwarf, although this process would take longer than the current age of the universe.
No. Fusion has long since ceased by the time a stellar remnant becomes a black dwarf.
Once a medium sized star has consumed all it's fuel it becomes a White Dwarf star (just the extremely dense core of the original star remains composed mainly of carbon). A White Dwarf star will, however, eventually lose it's heat to become a Black Dwarf.
A low to medium-mass star eventually evolves into a red giant as it runs out of fuel in its core. After shedding its outer layers, the star will collapse into a white dwarf, which is the end stage of its life cycle.
A white dwarf. Basically, a red dwarf just gets cooler and cooler until it has consumed all of its hydrogen. Then it becomes a white dwarf star. It will then dissipate any remaining heat into space and eventually become a "black dwarf".
A white dwarf does not die in the traditional sense as it is already the end stage of a low-mass star's life cycle. However, over a very long period of time (trillions of years), a white dwarf will cool and fade away, eventually becoming a black dwarf.
A black dwarf.

After a planetary nebula occurs, the core of the star collapses and becomes a white dwarf. This white dwarf slowly cools down over billions of years until it eventually becomes a cold, dark remnant known as a black dwarf.
A brown dwarf will never become a black dwarf. A black dwarf is what becomes of a white dwarf. This process takes hundreds of trillions of years.
No, the sun is too small to become a black hole, it will eventually become a brown dwarf, ending it's life cycle.
No, the sun will eventually evolve into a red giant before shedding its outer layers and becoming a white dwarf. The white dwarf stage marks the end of its evolution, where it will slowly cool down over billions of years.

White Dwarf then Black Dwarf=Dead Star
No in the life cycle of a star, a white dwarf can cool and become a black dwarf
