A) 2.0 m/s
B) 2.5 m/s
C) 3.0 m/s
D) 3.5 m/s
E) 4.0 m/s

The solar neutrino problem referred to the fact that, a couple decades ago, fewer neutrinos were being detected from the Sun than predicted by our theory of nuclear fusion. What was the solution to this problem?

A) We learned that the Sun is generating energy by means other than nuclear fusion. B) We learned that the Sun is generating much less energy than we thought it was. C) We learned that our detectors were mistaking neutrinos for the particles known as cosmic rays. D) We learned that our detectors were detecting only one of three different types of neutrinos that reach us from the Sun. E) We learned that our detectors were not functioning properly.
