Solution

The correct option is C Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Ionizing radiation is used in several forms of diagnostic testing, such as X-ray imaging, computed tomography (CT or CAT scans), PET, radionuclide (nuclear medicine/SPECT) imaging, and angiography. There is no radiation exposure from ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Hence, MRI is the safest.
