The answer is choice C. I don't think there is a need for explanation just open to "practical application of x-rays" page 490, New school physics.

The question and the answer makes no meaning....which is correct abi incorrect?...pls,review this question...myschool.com

i think c is the correct answer because fingerprints are transparent to x-rays.but d might also be correct you know there can be two correct answers but i am sure of c

The statement B. "for the treatment of malignant growths like cancer cells" is incorrect. X-rays are used in radiation therapy to treat cancer cells, but not for the treatment of malignant growths themselves.
