Which of these could be caused by an increase in sunspots activity?

Sun spots are cooler spots on the sun so anything to cool off part of the sun would create a sunspot

Hope this helps and have a great day!

Explanation:

answer is: nuclear fusion produces elements that are heavier than helium.

nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.  

for example, fusion of hydrogen atoms at the sun.  

this fusion nuclear reaction is in the inner core of the sun and hydrogen (atomic number 1) is conveted into helium (atomic number 2).  

the inner core is the central region of the sun and all solar energy is produced in the core by nuclear fusion.
