If you're asking us to choose the best fit from your list, then campbelp2002's got it right. If you want the name of the nearest sun-like star it's Alpha Centauri, which has the same spectral class - G2 V

The Sun is Morgan-Keenan spectral classification type G, specifically type G2; and Yerkes spectral classification V, so I say f9 V, because that is closer to g2 V than g9 III is.

Our sun is nothing unusual. There are billions upon billions of unexplored stars that are almost exactly like our sun. As for those specific stars I can't help you unfortunatly. But there really is no set answer, becuase in order to say that smething is exaclty like something else, we must know everything about the two items. We know much about our sun, but whos to say we know everything? Its really all theroetical.

Hope this helps some :)
