Answer:

Star B

Step-by-step explanation:

Star B, this is because, usually in the discussions about stars, the more luminous star or say, the brighter star usually is the one that possesses the smaller absolute brightness.

That being said, succinctly put, if we have two stars A and star B, if star A is brighter than star B, then star A has a lower absolute brightness. Also, if star B is less brighter than star A, then it has the higher absolute brightness.
