Answer:
Star B will have a large parallax, because it is relatively close to the earth.
Explanation:
The objects which are at a certain distance from the earth have a smaller parallax as compared to the objects which are closer to the earth.
For example, if you are sitting in a moving car or walking down the street and you suddenly look at the surrounding objects. You will observe that the objects which are near to you will move quickly than the objects which are farther away. Thus we can say that the objects farther away from the earth have smaller parallax than the object closer to you.
