Answer:

C) It is farther away from Earth than the Sun.

Explanation:

Alpha Centauri B is a star almost the same size as the sun and with a high energy content, however it is very distant from the earth at a distance of 4.365 ± 0.004 light years, which makes it seen as a small star, not as bright and not as powerful as the sun itself.

The sun, on the other hand, is at a distance of 0.000015692 light years, which means that it is very close and that is why we can perceive its size and luminosity.
