I apologize for the incorrect answer. The correct answer is:
D. as it gets closer to the sun
As a comet approaches the sun, the heat causes the ice and other volatile substances in the comet to vaporize, creating a glowing coma and a tail that extends away from the sun. This tail can appear longer as the comet gets closer to the sun.
