Which consequence results when enhanced solar activity causes atmospheric changes?

💡 Explanation

Increased solar activity raises neutron flux, which then causes nitrogen-14 to undergo neutron capture and beta decay, resulting in increased carbon-14 generation. This neutron capture process is the mechanism. Therefore, carbon-14 concentration increases, rather than alternatives related to fission changes.
