Correct Answer: Gamma-rays


Solution : The correct option is Gamma rays .

Gamma rays possess the highest frequency within the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation.They fall under the category of ionizing radiation, signifying that they carry sufficient energy to liberate tightly bound electrons from atoms, potentially causing detrimental effects on living tissues. Gamma rays originate from phenomena like nuclear reactions, interactions at the subatomic level, and the decay of radioactive materials. With extraordinarily short wavelengths and elevated energy levels, they stand as the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation within this spectrum.
