Solution
The correct option is B Electromagnetic radiation
A radiograph is a photographic image produced by the action of electromagnetic radiation such as X-ray. The technique used is called rRadiography. The X-rays that pass through the human body (object) are captured behind the object by a detector such as a photographic film. The detector then gives a superimposed 2D representation of all the internal structures. Thus the correct answer is option B.
