• C. for the improvement in agriculture and industry
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

in the treatment of cancer

Explanation of the correct option-

1. Nuclear energy uses radioactive elements.
2. These radioactive elements are used as drugs that are injected into the person’s body suffering from cancer.
3. These radioactive elements detect the tumor cell by circulating in the body and then sticking to that cancerous cell.
4. It then delivers the radiations directly to that cell and thus killing that cell.

Thus, nuclear energy can be used in the treatment of cancer.

Hence, the correct option is (B).
