The correct statement is:
– The surface of the Sun.
Explanation: The photosphere is the visible surface of the Sun that emits light. It is often considered the layer we see when we look at the Sun, but it is not where nuclear fusion occurs (that happens in the core), nor is it the outer atmosphere (which is the corona). Solar activity does occur in the photosphere, but the statement specifically calling it the “surface” is the most accurate. If you have more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
