Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A huge solar flare causes an increase in the sun's surface temperature, which leads to an increase in the energy of the emitted wavelengths. As the temperature increases, the emitted wavelengths become shorter and more energetic. Therefore, choice D (shorter and more energetic) is the best answer.
