When a comet is close to the sun, the force from the sun's radiation pushing against the comet making a dust and/or gas tail. The comet being close to the sun also forms the coma of a comet due to it's radiation. The only thing that doesn't exist while being close to the sun is the nucleus. In conclusion, When a long period comet is farthest from the sun in its orbit, C. the Nucleus exist.
