Question

question 2 points 2 which of the following happens in the food irradiation process? non - ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and controls parasite infestation. ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and pests. ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and controls parasite infestation. non - ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and pests.

Explanation:

Food irradiation uses ionizing radiation (like gamma rays, X - rays) to kill bacteria, parasites, and control pests. Non - ionizing radiation (e.g., visible light, microwaves) doesn't have enough energy for this purpose. So the correct option is the one where ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and controls parasite infestation (or the option stating ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and pests, but more accurately, it also controls parasites). Among the options, "Ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and controls parasite infestation" is correct. Wait, looking at the options again: the third option is "Ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and controls parasite infestation", the second is "Ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and pests". But food irradiation with ionizing radiation kills bacteria, parasites, and reduces pest infestation. However, the key is that food irradiation uses ionizing radiation (not non - ionizing). So between the options with ionizing, the third option (ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and controls parasite infestation) is more accurate, but let's check the options again. Wait, the options are:

1. Non - ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and controls parasite infestation. (Wrong, food irradiation uses ionizing)
2. Ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and pests. (Partially correct, but also controls parasites)
3. Ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and controls parasite infestation. (Correct, as ionizing radiation in food irradiation kills bacteria, parasites, and reduces pests)
4. Non - ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and pests. (Wrong)

So the correct option is the third one: "Ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and controls parasite infestation."

Answer:

C. Ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and controls parasite infestation. (Assuming the third option is labeled C, but if the original labels are different, adjust. Wait, in the given options, the third option is "Ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and controls parasite infestation" (the radio button for the third option). So the answer is the option: Ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and controls parasite infestation (the third option in the list). If we assume the options are labeled as:

Option 1: Non - ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and controls parasite infestation.

Option 2: Ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and pests.

Option 3: Ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and controls parasite infestation.

Option 4: Non - ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and pests.

Then the correct answer is Option 3: Ionizing radiation destroys bacteria and controls parasite infestation.
