    The list of stars from coolest to hottest is:

    Star C Star B Star A

    Explanation:

    The temperature of light depends on the wavelength. Longer wavelengths are associated with cooler temperatures and shorter wavelengths with hotter temperatures. Infrared light is emitted in a wavelength longer than that of red visible light, while ultraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than the blue light at the other end of the visible spectrum.

    This means that the emission spectrum of Star A is the most energetic (and therefore hottest) as it's light is mostly of a shorter wavelength.
