The temperature of the Sun is highest in the central plasma core.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Sun is a hot plasma (ionized matter) with its inner core at a temperature exceeding 107K, and its outer surface at a temperature of about 6000K. At these high temperatures, no substances remain in a solid or liquid phase.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the depths of the Sun where fusion reactions produce the energy that we perceive as light and heat, temperatures reach 15 million °C. In the centre of the ITER plasma temperatures will soar to between 150 and 300 million °C.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Sun’s temperature, which reaches around 15 million degrees Celsius in its core, steadily decreases with distance from the core, falling to 6000°C at its ‘surface’.
