Answer:

The correct answer is gamma rays.

Step-by-step explanation:

A gamma radiation or gamma rays refers to a penetrating electromagnetic emission originating from the atomic nuclei's radioactive disintegration. It comprises photons in the elevated range of photon strength. Of the radiations, gamma radiation is the most penetrating. Even a small quantity can penetrate through paper or thin metal.
