Answer: (d)

Because of the comet rotation around the sun, the lighter mass of the comet is pushed away due to the centrifugal force alone. When a comet comes close enough to the sun, the ice begins to melt at such a great pace that sublimation occurs.

The sublimation of the ice that carries away dirt and rock causes the appearance of a large white fireball with a long tail. The layer that envelopes the comet is called the coma. A tail of dust particles, hydrogen, or ions extends more than a million miles away from the comet.
