Which statement about sunspots is true? a. sunspots are seen in the chromosphere. b. sunspots are related to the sun's magnetism. c. sunspots are seen on the hottest part of the sun. d. sunspots do not us determine the sun's rotational period.

The answer is "B"

Sunspots are related to the Sun's magnetism.

The core, or middle, of the Sun is the hottest part. Hot gasses bubble up from the core to the surface of the Sun. When the gasses burn, heat and light are produced.

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.
