I love astronomy!!! The answer is...C. The apparent magnitude is what we observe from earth... and the absolute is what the luminosity actually is... for example, our sun has a ridiculously high apparent magnitude, but its absolute is very low. To us it's very bright, but compared to all other stars its not all that luminous.
