Which description best models the energy transfer that occurs in the radiative zone?

In the Sun’s radiative zone, energy moves outward as photons are repeatedly absorbed and re-emitted, changing direction many times. This is like a wallet being kicked around a busy train station: it moves through a series of indirect, unpredictable interactions rather than traveling straight to its destination. So the best description is “a dropped wallet is kicked around the floor of a busy train station.”
