Missing question:

A the same

B different from each other

C the same as those of several other elements

D the same as each other only in the ultraviolet range.

Answer is: A. the same.

Differente gravity or no atmosphere on Sun don't affect emission spectra of elements.

Emission spectrum of a chemical element is the spectrum of frequencies emitted due to an atom making a transition from a high energy state to a lower energy state. Each element's emission spectrum is unique.
