The correct response is: The highest temperatures are from the corona.

By analyzing the temperature data, the astronomers can identify the sun's layers based on the temperature ranges, noting that the corona, which is the outermost layer of the sun's atmosphere, has the highest temperatures, often reaching millions of degrees Celsius.
