The correct answer is:
A

Incandescent electric lamp gives continuous emission spectrum. Mercury and sodium vapour lamp give line emission spectrum. The Fraunhofer lines seen in the sun's spectrum constitute an absorption spectrum. The main body of the sun emits continuous spectrum whereas the cooler vapours in the sun's atmosphere emit line spectra corresponding to the elements present.
