Final answer:

Comet structure includes option b) nucleus, coma, dust tail, and gas tail.

Step-by-step explanation:

The structure of a comet includes a b)nucleus, coma, dust tail, and gas tail.

The nucleus is the small, solid core of the comet responsible for the atmosphere and the tail. It is a fragment of ancient icy material hidden within the much-larger coma.

The dust tail is the more easily visible part of the tail and can be up to 10 million kilometers long. The gas tail, also called the ion tail, is fainter and can be hundreds of millions of kilometers long.
