Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many different types of radiation, however the most common type of radiation is known as electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation includes radiation such as radio waves, visible light and even gamma rays.

There is also a theory known as the theory of wave-particle duality. Wave-particle duality is the theory that electrons can act as both a particle and a wave.

Hence, if we are trying to find radiation with the same ability to transfer energy as an electron, the most suitable option would be a photon. A photon obeys the theory of wave-particle duality in that it (like electrons) behaves like a wave, and a particle.
