Answer to Problem 1QP

Option (a)

Explanation of Solution

Sun’s interior comprises of zones defined by the means of energy transportation in that region. By means of radiation and convection, energy moves outward of the Sun.

Multiple layers of the sun are characterized by pressure, density, and temperature. Sun’s interior gets directly probed by Neutrinos and seismic vibrations. The model of Sun’s interior has been tested by helio-seismology.

.

Conclusion:

Therefore, option (a) is correct.
