I don't think they are brighter, they are just bigger. As our Sun becomes a red giant, the surface of the Sun will come closer and closer to us, perhaps enveloping us, so to us it gets brighter and brighter till we're burned to a cinder but that's only because we'll be closer and closer.

D. Although the temperature is much less the daimeter is much larger leading to a luminosity increase of around 10 times.
