Brief Explanations

Solar wind consists of charged particles from the Sun that exert a force (radiation pressure and magnetic forces) on the gas and dust tail of a comet. This force pushes the tail away from the Sun, regardless of the comet's orbital direction. So the tail is always directed away from the Sun.

Answer:

A. Always away from the sun
