Solution
The correct option is D bound with no measurable Compton shift If atomic number of an atom is high- suggests that more energy is required to eject the electron or electron is more tightly bound . If energy of x rays is low- suggests that x-ray photon possesses insufficient energy to cause any measurable effect on electron. Thus, considering both these factors, A is the correct option
