Which of the following is NOT a solar ejection?
A
solar flare
B
prominence
C
sunspot
D
coronal mass ejection
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Solar flares are giant explosions on the sun that send energy, light and high speed particles into space. These flares are often associated with solar magnetic storms known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs).

Detailed explanation-2: -Sunspots: One interesting aspect of the Sun is its sunspots. Sunspots are areas where the magnetic field is about 2, 500 times stronger than Earth’s, much higher than anywhere else on the Sun. Because of the strong magnetic field, the magnetic pressure increases while the surrounding atmospheric pressure decreases.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sunspots are dark, planet-sized regions that appear on the surface of the Sun. 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).
