Answer:

The correct answer is the core.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Sun is a gaseous star with several layers whose constant proton interaction generates the production of thermal heat. From the outside to the core, the Sun´s layers are: the atmosphere, the photosphere, the connective zone, the tachocline, the radiative zone and the core. From all of these layers, the two in which nuclear fusion happens, are the radiative zone and the core itself, with the fusion of hydrogen into helium. The energy, and heat, generated by this fusion makes the Core the hottest of all the layers, with its temperature at 15.7 K (Kelvins), and as the layers move out and away from the core, these temperatures vary between 2 and 7 million kelvins.

The correct answer is - core.

The Sun's core is incredibly hot, unimaginably by Earth's standards, and it is the hottest part of the Sun, reaching a staggering 15 million °C. That temperature puts in front by far from any other part of the Sun. Not to make a mistake, all of the Sun is very hot when compared with the Earth, but compared to the temperature of the core, some parts, like the surface of the Sun, might seem pretty ''cold' with the 5,000 °C, and that is actually the ''coldest'' part of the Sun.
