The three correct answers that describe a difference between solar wind and a geomagnetic storm are:

  1. Geomagnetic storms occur only occasionally; solar wind is constant.
  2. Geomagnetic storms are associated with CMEs; solar wind is associated with the constant activity in the sun.
  3. Solar wind sometimes results in geomagnetic storms; geomagnetic storms do not cause solar wind.

These statements highlight the differences in occurrence, association with solar phenomena, and the relationship between the two concepts.
