The phrase 'We are made of stardust' refers to the idea that the elements in our bodies originated from stars, particularly from the process of stellar nucleosynthesis. This statement aligns most closely with option d, which mentions the rotating cloud of stardust that contributed to the formation of LUCA and all subsequent life. In essence, our biological makeup is a result of the same cosmic processes that form elements in the universe.
