The two correct responses that share a characteristic with sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections are:

  1. They tend to occur during active periods of the solar cycle.
  2. They are caused by outward fluctuations of the sun's magnetic field.

Sunspots represent areas of intense magnetic activity, while solar flares and coronal mass ejections are phenomena that result from changes in the sun's magnetic field during solar activity.
