How does the sun compare to most other stars in the universe?

A:The sun has the largest apparent magnitude and a relatively average luminosity.
B:The sun has the smallest apparent magnitude and a relatively average luminosity.
C:The sun has a relatively average apparent magnitude and the highest luminosity.
D:The sun has a relatively average apparent magnitude and the lowest luminosity.

The correct answer is C: The sun has a relatively average apparent magnitude and the highest luminosity. The sun is a type G main-sequence star and is considered an average star compared to the other stars in the universe. It has an apparent magnitude similar to many other stars that can be seen from Earth, but its luminosity, or total amount of energy emitted, is the highest among all known stars.
