The correct answer is Radiation.

In the Sun's core, energy is generated through nuclear fusion. This energy then moves outward through the radiative zone, where it is transferred by radiation. It takes a very long time for this energy to move through the radiative zone due to the dense material, and ultimately, it reaches the convective zone, where convection starts taking place.
