Answer:
The higher the spring constant, the greater the elastic potential energy.
Convection Zone: Just beneath the photosphere, and extending inward to about 0.7 Rsun, is the convection zone. Energy generated in the core of the Sun moves outward through this layer by a boiling motion in which hot plasma rises, releases some of its energy, cools, and then sinks again.
The answer more than likely based on research would be (B.)
