radiation belt -- aurora

solar wind -- interplanetary magnetic field
solar wind -- interplanetary magnetic field

coronal mass ejection -- geomagnetic storm
coronal mass ejection -- geomagnetic storm

Answer 1

The two correct answers that describe a realistic cause-effect relationship between solar weather and Earth's magnetosphere are:

1. coronal mass ejection -- geomagnetic storm
2. geomagnetic storm -- aurora

These relationships indicate that a coronal mass ejection can lead to a geomagnetic storm, which in turn can produce auroras.
