Solution

The correct option is D

Microwave


Explanation:

  1. Microwave frequency is high enough to convey information, therefore, microwaves are utilized in telecommunication.
  2. Any impediment in their path does not absorb or scatter the microwaves.

Explanation for incorrect options:

Other rays cannot be used in communication for the following reasons:

  1. Visible light is reflected by the atmosphere.
  2. Infrared rays are influenced by hard objects such as walls, fog, and so on.
  3. UV rays are absorbed by the ozone layer. UV radiation can potentially be damaging to living things when employed in antenna-to-antenna communication.

Hence, the correct option is (D).
