      C HEL1OS Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D SUIT Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT), a key payload aboard Aditya-L1, captured this historic image of a solar flare 'kernel' in the lower solar atmosphere.SUIT focuses on ultraviolet imaging of the Sun’s photosphere and chromosphere. Alongside SUIT, instruments like SoLEXS and HEL1OS study solar X-ray emissions. The mission, launched in September 2023, is positioned at Lagrange Point 1 (L1) to enable continuous solar observation and research on solar dynamics.
