Venus does not have a global magnetic field generated in its core, even though Venus is similar in size to Earth, and its core appears to be molten. What conditions appear to be preventing the formation of such a global magnetic field at Venus?

(a)   Venus has a molten core dominated by iron, cobalt, and nickel, but it rotates too slowly to drive an internal magnetic dynamo.
(b)   Venus is much closer to the Sun than is the Earth, and the ionized solar wind swirling around the planet cancels any internal magnetic field.
(c)   Venus= molten interior in non-magnetic, being composed mainly of aluminum and sulfur, not iron, cobalt and nickel.
