The correct answer is:
a) Solar Prominences
Explanation:
1. Solar prominences are large, bright, gaseous features extending outward from the Sun's surface.
2. They are often associated with sunspots and can form loops connecting two sunspots.
3. Solar wind is a stream of charged particles released from the Sun's corona, not loops connecting sunspots.
4. Solar flares are sudden, intense bursts of energy on the Sun's surface, not loops connecting sunspots.
5. Therefore, the loops that connect two sunspots are referred to as solar prominences.
