(05.04 lc)
which feature of the sun is caused due to an eruption of high - energy radiation?
corona
prominence
solar flare
sunspot

Explanation:

• Corona: It is the outer atmosphere of the sun, not directly caused by an eruption of high - energy radiation.
• Prominence: A large, bright feature extending outward from the Sun's surface, mainly composed of plasma, not primarily due to high - energy radiation eruption.
• Solar flare: A sudden flash of increased brightness on the Sun, often associated with the release of a large amount of high - energy radiation (such as X - rays, UV rays).
• Sunspot: A temporary phenomenon on the Sun's photosphere that appears as spots darker than the surrounding areas, related to magnetic fields, not high - energy radiation eruption.

Answer:

C. Solar flare
