    Sun emits various kind of radiations ranging from radio waves to gamma rays however the abundance of emission of all radiations are not same. The maximum abundance of radiation among all solar radiations is of infrared. See the attached figure, you can note down that the area under spectral irradiance curve is maximum for infrared waves which indicates that the maximum abundance is of infrared waves.

    so the range of wavelenght is high for IR but but energy is less BUT in case of Visible ,the range of wavelength is less but energy is high

    More than half the Sun's power output is in the form of infrared light, though much of it is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere. option a will be the answer. see the portion of the graphic having more area under the curve below infrared so it is more.
