If this is a homework question the answer you are probably looking for is Quasar [See related question]

However, the actual question is full of inconsistencies.

Brightness is defined as being observed from Earth and distance is relative to your frame of reference - Apparent magnitude [See related question - Apparent magnitude]

Therefore, a bright object could be the Sun, and in normal relative terms it is distant, to some very distant.

A quasar on the other hand is not very bright from Earth but it is very very distant.

For the question to fit the answer, the question should be "What star like object is very luminous and very far away".

or "What star like object has a high absolute magnitude and is very distant [See related question - Absolute magnitude]

How can a star give off the most light and not be the brightest in the sky?

How bright a star appears depends on both its actual brightness and how far away it is. The farther away a star is, the dimmer it appears. A bright but very distant star many therefore appear dimmer than a less bright star that is closer to us.
