The correct explanation for solar flares is:

Solar flares are powered by the sudden release of magnetic energy stored in the corona.

Solar flares are associated with the Sun's magnetic fields and occur when there is a rapid release of energy due to the reconfiguration of magnetic field lines in the Sun's atmosphere, leading to intense bursts of radiation.
