The component that makes up the bulk of all galaxies is:

Stars.

The correct answer is stars. Stars constitute the majority of the mass in galaxies. To arrive at this answer, you could use your knowledge of basic astronomy or conduct a simple online search to confirm this fact. Galaxies are composed of billions or even trillions of stars, along with other components such as gas, dust, and dark matter. However, stars are the primary component that forms the bulk of the mass in galaxies.
