Sunburst data labels are used to display the data related to the segment. It helps to provide the information about the data points to the users.
You can enable or disable the data labels by setting the visible property of the DataLabelSettings to true as shown in the below code

     //...Palette colors
    .DataLabelSettings(dt => dt.Visible(true))
      //...

      //...
 )

CSHTML

@(Html.EJ().SunburstChart("chartContainer")

     //.
    .DataLabelSettings(dt => dt.Visible(true).SunburstLabelOverflowMode(SunburstLabelOverflowMode.Trim))
