According to current theories of stellar evolution, because of the Sun's mass and chemistry most likely it will become a white dwarf. It simply lacks the weight to become a neutron star or black hole.
Neither. Our Sun will turn into a red giant, and then cool to become a white dwarf.
Different kinds of stars become different different stuffs......
A cooled white dwarf is a black dwarf. I think you are thinking of a neutron star which has nothing to do with a white dwarf.
A white dwarf is much larger than a neutron star.
No. it is not massive enough. When the sun dies it will become a white dwarf.
The long-term fate of the sun according to current theories in stellar evolution, is to become a white dwarf. It lacks the mass to further collapse into a neutron star or black hole.

The other option is a white dwarf.
A cooled white dwarf is a black dwarf. I think you are thinking of a neutron star which has nothing to do with a white dwarf.
The Neutron stage follows the White Dwarf stage of star development.
Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.Then, depending on the remaining mass of the star, it will collapse into a white dwarf, a neutron star (aka pulsar), or a black hole.

A black dwarf.
No, a dead star is different from a black dwarf. A black dwarf is a type of stellar remnant, but not all stars become black dwarfs. When a star dies it will leave behind a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black dwarf as a remnant depending on its mass. Given enough time a white dwarf will eventually cool to a black dwarf. The universe is not old enough for this cooling to have happened yet.
A star that becomes a white dwarf simply does not have the mass to become a neutron star. White dwarfs are the the remnants of a star very similar to our own sun in mass, where it takes a much more massive star to create a neutron star, Like the star Betelgeuse is a prime example of a star that does not have the mass to become a black hole but is massive enough to become a neutron star.
* white dwarf * neutron star * black hole
