Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

(A) Corona, chromosphere, photosphere

Step-by-step explanation:

• Photosphere - it is the Sun’s deepest layer, and the layer visible to human eyes directly from the Earth. It is also called the solar surface

• Chromosphere - This layer of the Sun is located between 250 miles and 1300 miles above the photosphere. The chromosphere has temperatures around 4000K at the base, and 8000K at the top.

• Transition Region - This layer is very thin with a size of about 60 miles, and it is present between corona and the chromosphere.

• Corona - This layer is the Sun’s outermost layer. It starts at roughly 1300 miles over the photosphere and it has no upper limit. Its temperature is between 500,000 K to 1 million K.
