Z - Gamma Rays
X - Visible Light

Gamma rays are heavily produced in the core of the sun but are diluted before they reach the surface (Z). And the surface is the only thing the human eye can see (X).

Answer:

Z: Gamma rays

X: Visible light

Explanation:

A close look at the diagram attach shows the core of the sun and then the external surface.

Gamma rays are intricately associated with the nuclear reactions that go on in the core of the sun that makes it to produce light. Hence Z must refer to gamma rays emitted in these nuclear processes at the core of the sun.

Visible light is given out by the sun and seen externally. Hence X is visible light.
