why is myschool not saying anything about the radioactive there .....X ray is not a radioactive radiation .....so how possibly can it be the right answer
Answer: (C) X-rays
X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation with high energy. They are used in a technique called X-ray crystallography to determine the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal. When a beam of X-rays hits a crystal, it diffracts into many specific directions. By measuring the angles and intensities of these diffracted beams, a crystallographer can produce a three-dimensional picture of the electron density within the crystal. From this electron density map, the mean positions of the atoms in the crystal can be determined, as well as their chemical bonds and other information. This method is particularly useful for studying the arrangement of particles in giant organic molecules, such as proteins and DNA.
