Two stars are the same temperature, but one is twice as large as the other. The larger star is likely dimmer than the smaller star.

Option A

Explanation:

The brightness and dimm-ness of a star is dependent upon the reaction of fission of the molecules occurring in the star which releases energy and which establishes the temperature of the star.

in the given scenario, the temperature is constant, but the diameter of the star is different, that means the fission reaction releasing the energy in the larger star is more scattered and in the smaller star is being concentrated. this concentrated gas fusion leads to brightness in smaller and scattered - ness to dimm-ness in larger star.

The larger star is likely to be the dimmer star.

Explanation:

As the temperature of the star often equates directly to how bright it would be as it is the heat emanating from the fission inside the star and the fusion of the gasses that illumines these stars it is sure that in the given conditions the larger star is to be dimmer.

This is because both stars have the same temperate. Now the temperature is the function of reactivity. Because it has the same temperature and the one star is bigger it would be considerably less reactive and thus it would be the dimmer star.
