The correct answer is ultraviolet (UV) light, visible light and infrared (IR) light.

Radiation from the Sun or the sunlight, is a mixture of electromagnetic waves which ranges from IR to UV so, it also includes the visible light, which is in between IR and UV in the electromagnetic spectrum. Fusion in the core actually gives off high energy gamma (γ) rays from the Sun, but they are continuously absorbed by the solar plasma and re-emitted to very low frequencies.
