Hey! As you can see, there is an image wherein the question is cut of. Here is the question:

Which of the following statements is CORRECT in terms of the star's absolute magnitude??

3:39
Done
Edit
If Mercury has an orbital period of 0.241 and has an average distance of 0.387 from the Sun, how will you
illustrate the Kepler's third law of Planetary Motion in an equation?
(0.241)² = (0.387)?
Eb. (0.241)² = (0.387)³
Oc.
(0.241)³ = (0.387)³
od. (0.241)? = (0.387)
(0.241)³ = (0.387)?
