Solution
The brightness of a star is not strictly related to its temperature because it can also be affected by its size. Larger stars emit more light, and therefore appear brighter, than smaller stars of the same temperature. This is why stars in Groups 2 and 3, which may be of different sizes, do not follow the same pattern as Group 1 stars. Therefore, the statement "Brightness must be related to size" would be the most accurate.
