M class stars are the most common and account for around 76.5% of all stars that are on main sequence.. They are normally red dwarfs, but can include red giants and red super-giants like Betelgeuse and Antares.

The most common elements in stars are hydrogen and helium. These elements make up the vast majority of a star's mass. Other elements like carbon, oxygen, and iron are also present, but in smaller quantities.

Probably brown dwarf stars. We can't be sure, because a brown dwarf star wouldn't have much mass, and so wouldn't radiate much light. It would be too dim to see even up close, and there could be gazillions of them - and we'd never know.

A lot depends on your classification.

The "Population" classification places population III stars as the least common. So rare that non have been observed, just hypothesised.

The spectral type classification puts black dwarfs as the least common, as non have yet been observed.

Of main sequence stars, O type main sequence stars are the least common, about 0.00003% of all stars.

There are a lot of "funny" stellar classifications - Methane dwarfs, Wolf Rayet stars all are rare.

The "best" answer is O type giants.

The most common stars in the cosmos are red dwarf stars.

There are 2 main reasons for this.

Firstly since red dwarfs are the lowest mass stars they are far easier to make. They are most likely the most common star to be made.

Secondly red dwarfs are far longer living than bigger stars. So many more older red dwarfs are still in the main sequence were as older bigger stars have left the main sequence to become white dwarf, neutron stars and black holes.

I would guess that is the dwarf galaxy, considering the large amount of dwarf galaxies there are in the immediate neighborhood.

Another view: Elliptical galaxies are the most common.

About 60 percent of all galaxies seem to be of that type.

a main-sequence star. The Sun, maybe, it's pretty darn big and it is a star...

The most common type of pressure in stars is the thermal pressure. It is similar to the pressure that keeps a balloon inflated.
