When observing the Sun in visible light, the photosphere appears brighter than the corona. However, when observing the Sun in x-rays, the corona appears brighter. The reason for this is that

A. the gas in the corona has a much lower density than that in the photosphere and so emits mostly emission lines at x-ray wavelengths.
B. the temperature in the corona is more than 1 million K while that in the photosphere is about 5800 K and so the corona emits a larger fraction of its luminosity at short wavelengths.
C. more nuclear reactions are occurring in the corona than the photosphere and these produce high-energy (x-ray and gamma-ray) photons.
