Observations of light from three different stars $A, B$,and $C$ show that the intensity of the red color is maximum for star $A$,the intensity of the blue color is maximum for star $B$,and the intensity of the yellow color is maximum for star $C$. Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from these observations?

  • A
    Temperature of $A$ is maximum,$B$ is minimum,and $C$ is intermediate.
  • B
    Temperature of $A$ is maximum,$C$ is minimum,and $B$ is intermediate.
  • C
    Temperature of $B$ is maximum,$A$ is minimum,and $C$ is intermediate.
  • D
    Temperature of $C$ is maximum,$B$ is minimum,and $A$ is intermediate.
