The correct option is D-Infrared waves

Infrared waves are being used in thermal imaging devices. Thermal imaging is basically a method that is used to enhance and improve objects visibility in dark environments. The image of any object is created by the detection of infrared radiations coming out of that object and then an image is created based on the received information. Thermal imaging does works in environments without any ambient lights and can penetrate obscurants like fog and haze.
