Solution

The correct option is C Only 1

X-rays can pass through aluminium.

Of course X-rays can penetrate aluminium and produce an image through the same, but the KV (power of the generated radiation) must be sufficient to penetrate the thickness of aluminium. ... Aluminum therefore has the ability to distort, magnify, reduce and obstruct x-rays.

X-rays of the chest, stomach, and neck were taken in all cases to rule out that kids hadn't swallowed other “foreign bodies” and also to see how many tabs were visible. They identified 19 cases, with only 4 visible on X ray - not unexpected, given that aluminum doesn't usually show up on X-rays.
