Hint:

The correct answer is: Comet
The correct option is c)Comet.
A comet is a small, icy object in the solar system that heats up and begins to emit gas as it approaches the sun. This process is called outgassing. This creates a visible atmosphere or coma and possibly a tail. These phenomena are due to the influence of solar radiation and the solar wind acting on the comet's nucleus.
