Solution

The correct option is D

Gamma rays


The different types of radiation are defined by the amount of energy found in their photons.

Radio waves have photons with low energy, microwave photons have a little more energy than radio waves. Infrared photons have still more, then visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, and, the most energetic of all is the Gamma-rays.

So, Gamma rays have maximum energy hence they are the most energetic.
