Solution

The correct option is D Nuclear waste
Nuclear waste is the material that nuclear fuel becomes after it is used in a reactor.
The waste, sometimes called used fuel, is dangerously radioactive and remains so for thousands of years.
When it first comes out of the reactor, it is so toxic that if you stood close to it while it was unshielded, you would receive a lethal radioactive dose within a few seconds and would die of acute radiation sickness within a few days.
