Solution
The correct option is D All of the above
Exposure to any type of ionising radiation can prove harmful and even lethal. The effects can be either genetic or non-genetic. Non-genetic effects refer to any kind of damage caused to the body apart from affecting the genes. In genetic damage, genes get mutated and the effects may be seen as deformities in the offsprings as birth defects. They may also affect the replication of cells and induce tumour formation.
