Solution
The correct option is B Away from the Sun
The tail of a comet also called coma, points away from the Sun. The streams of dust and gas being released form a huge, extremely tenuous atmosphere around the comet and the force exerted on the coma by the Sun's radiation pressure and solar wind cause an enormous tail to form, which points away from the Sun.
