Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) line absorption spectrum

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Chromosphere is the outer region of the sun just above the photosphere. The photosphere emits continuous spectrum that passes through the chromosphere after some absorption. These absorption lines are observed in solar spectrum. During a total solar eclipse, when the light from…
