A graph relating the surface temperatures and absolute brightness of stars
A
spectrograph
B
main sequence
C
Hertzsprung-Russell diagram
D
parallax
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, also called H-R diagram, in astronomy, graph in which the absolute magnitudes (intrinsic brightness) of stars are plotted against their spectral types (temperatures).

Detailed explanation-2: -The Hertzsprung–Russell diagram, abbreviated as H–R diagram, HR diagram or HRD, is a scatter plot of stars showing the relationship between the stars’ absolute magnitudes or luminosities versus their stellar classifications or effective temperatures.

Detailed explanation-3: -The upper left corner of an HR diagram includes the hot, bright, blue stars. The coolest stars are much fainter than the hot stars, and they lie at the lower right. The band connecting the hot, bright stars at the upper left to the cool, faint stars at the lower right is called the Main Sequence.
