A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Sun is a huge ball of hydrogen and helium held together by its own gravity. The Sun has several regions. The interior regions include the core, the radiative zone, and the convection zone.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Sun and stars consist of very little actual hydrogen and helium gas. Because the temperatures are so high, the atoms are nearly completely ionized into hydrogen ions and helium ions, ie. a plasma.

Detailed explanation-3: -The solar wind is a stream of charged particles released from the upper atmosphere of the Sun, called the corona. This plasma mostly consists of electrons, protons and alpha particles with kinetic energy between 0.5 and 10 keV.

Detailed explanation-4: -The sun is a big ball of gas and plasma. Most of the gas 91 percent is hydrogen. It is converted into energy in the sun’s core. The energy moves outward through the interior layers, into the sun’s atmosphere, and is released into the solar system as heat and light.
