Answer:

d. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Usually 4 eclipses occur every year. This no. can go up to a maximum of 7 eclipses per year which happens rarely. Out of the eclipses happening in the year, no. of Solar Eclipses will be minimum 2 and maximum 5.

The solar eclipse will always be either preceded or succeeded by a Lunar Eclipse.
