Can someone explain how they got the answer for the responds final question about gamma rays?

I got the answer by eliminating all of the other options. Gamma rays are the strongest kind of ray we have covered, and therefore are very harmful. Therefore, you can automatically eliminate the two options saying it is not a harmful type of radiation. In addition, it is stronger than UV radiation so it has a higher frequency. It is strong and does not have a low frequency. Therefore, I got that gamma rays can ionize covalent bonds and destroy cells.

Like Marlenna explained, I basically just eliminated all the other answers. So, I'd suggest process of elimination because the actual answer was not very obvious, however, the other answers were easily proven false.

Gamma rays are at the end of all the radiation wavelengths meaning it is the most harmful and strong. Knowing this, you can eliminate a couple of the others stating it isnt strong. Then I remembered learning about how cells can be damaged from radiation and how harmful it is. I out two and two together and realized that was probably the correlation I needed to find the answer

I genuinely did not fully know the answer but I went with what I did know. We do know that Gamma rays are strong, so I eliminated the choices that did not consider strong waves and from there you can get the answer

Like the others above me, I did process of elimination.

It was the only one that seemed like it could be correct.

All the other answer choices seemed unlikely, so I just picked the one that made the most sense to me.
