Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1 ("a dark spot on the Sun") describes sunspots, not prominences.
• Option 2 ("a storm of erupting gas") accurately describes a solar prominence, which are large, bright features extending from the Sun's surface, formed by erupting gas.
• Option 3 ("a charged particle stream") refers to solar wind or a coronal mass ejection (not a prominence).
• Option 4 ("a sudden explosion of energy") describes a solar flare, not a prominence.

Answer:

a storm of erupting gas
