Hi there!
To understand how a star can have both a low apparent magnitude and a high absolute magnitude, we must first understand what those two words mean.
Apparent magnitude - Stars luminosity as it apparently looks from Earth
Absolute magnitude - Stars luminosity from a set distance regardless of actual distance to Earth
A star that is very far from Earth can appear dim and therefore seem to have a low apparent magnitude, but actually be very bright and have a high absolute magnitude. Therefore, the correct answer would be...
C. If it is very far from Earth
