Many exoplanets have been discovered by the transit method, where in one monitors, a dip in the intensity of the parent star as the exoplanet moves in front of it. The exoplanet has a radius $R$ and the parent star has radius $100 \,R$. If $I_0$ is the intensity observed on earth due to the parent star, then as the exoplanet transits
  • Athe minimum observed intensity of the parent star is $0.9 \,I_0$
  • Bthe minimum observed intensity of the parent star is $0.99 \,I_0$
  • Cthe minimum observed intensity of the parent star is $0.999 \,I_0$
  • Dthe minimum observed intensity of the parent star is $0.9999 \,I_0$
