Answer 1

The correct option is A

Chromosphere
Explanation:

Option (a) is correct: Chromosphere is the relatively thin layer of the Sun, sculpted by magnetic field lines that restrain the electrically charged solar plasma.

Option (b) is incorrect: Corona is the ionized elements within the solar atmosphere that glow in the x-ray and extreme ultraviolet wavelengths.

Option (c) is incorrect: Convection Zone is the zone in which energy continues to move toward the surface through convection currents of the heated and cooled gas.

Option (d) is incorrect: Sun's Core is the place where energy is generated via thermonuclear reactions creating extreme temperatures deep within the Sun's core.
