Solution

The correct option is D Scintillating counter

Explanation:

A scintillation counter is an instrument for detecting and measuring ionizing radiation by using the excitation effect of incident radiation. The photocell counts the number of light pulses in a specific time period. Scintillation counters measure radioactivity in liquid samples, whereas autoradiography is used to locate radioactive molecules on gels or membranes.
