In measuring solar neutrinos, what would you expect for the variation in the rate of detection in any instrument?
A)   The detection rate would rise at sunset and sunrise because solar neutrinos are gravitationally deflected by the Earth to increase this rate at these times.
B)   The rate would remain constant, day and night, because neutrinos pass very easily through the Earth.
C)   The instrument would only detect neutrinos in the daytime because the Earth would block these particles during the night.
D)   The instrument would measure more neutrinos during the night than in daytime because solar neutrinos would react with nuclei in the Earth to produce more neutrinos at that time.
