Answer:

c. they can reach thousands of kilometers into the sun's atmosphere

Explanation:

A planet can be defined as a large celestial body having sufficient mass to allow for self-gravity and make it assume a nearly circular shape (hydrostatic equilibrium), revolves in an orbit around the Sun in the solar system and has a cleared neighborhood.

Basically, the planets are divided into two (2) main categories and these includes;

I. Inner planets: these planets are the closest to the sun and comprises of mercury, venus, earth and mars.

II. Outer planets: these planets are beyond the asteroid belt and comprises of jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptune, from left to right of the solar system. These outer planets are made mostly of gases (hydrogen and helium) causing them to be less dense than the solid inner planets.

A solar prominence is also known as filament and it can be defined as a large, bright, dense cloud of luminous ionized gas such as hydrogen, sodium calcium, etc., that erupts (extends) from the surface of the sun. It can linger in the corona for a very long time, reaching hundreds of thousands of kilometers into the sun's atmosphere (space).

Hence, the statement about solar prominences which is true is that, they can reach thousands of kilometers into the sun's atmosphere.
