The list of choices is a mess. None of them is correct.

Star C ... even though it's 25 times as far from our eyes as Star A is ... still appears 2 magnitudes brighter !

Star C must be a wicked hot-ball, intrinsically waaaay brighter than Star A . A wild and wooly blowtorch compared to star A. Something like 4,200 times as bright as Star A .
