Solution

The correct option is D
Ultrasonic waves

Ultrasound equipment generates high-frequency sound waves which are transferred to a specific body area via a probe. The sound waves travel deep into tissues (e.g. muscles), creating gentle heat. The heat helps relieve pain and inflammation, reduce muscle spasms and accelerate healing.
