Which features can you see on the surface of the sun?
A
sunspots, prominences, and solar flares
B
the core, the photosphere, and the corona
C
the convection zone and the radiation zone
D
sunspots, photosphere, and convection zone
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sunspots are cooler and darker than the rest of the Sun’s surface. They are marked by intense magnetic activity. Solar prominences are the plasma loops that connect two sunspots. Solar flares and coronal mass ejections are eruptions of highly energetic particles from the Sun’s surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -They are caused by twisting, chaotic magnetic fields from within the Sun’s convective zone. These powerful magnetic disturbances produce active regions on the Sun, which can often create solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs).

Detailed explanation-3: -Sunspots are visible on the surface of the Sun. The commonly observed yellow color of the Sun’s surface, or photosphere, is due to scattering of shorter, blue wavelengths as light passes through the atmosphere.
