A Correct answer
Explanation

Because the Sun is made of plasma rather than a solid body, it undergoes differential rotation. The equator rotates faster than the polar regions, taking about 25 days for a full rotation compared to nearly 35 days near the poles. This phenomenon directly affects solar magnetic fields and sunspot cycles.
