Solution

The correct option is A Non-ionising radiation
MRI scan does not expose the patient to ionizing radiation. It uses a magnetic field and radio waves (non-ionising waves) to produce detailed images of the internal organs of the body. There are no known harmful side-effects associated with temporary exposure to the strong magnetic field used by MRI scanners.
