Correct answer: a sudden explosion of energy.
Briefly: solar flares are sudden releases of magnetic energy in the Sun’s atmosphere that produce intense light and radiation (X‑rays, UV, visible). They often occur near sunspots and can be accompanied by coronal mass ejections (erupting plasma) and energetic particle streams that can affect Earth.
