Correct answer choice is :


A) True


Step-by-step explanation:


A carcinogen is any object, radionuclide, or x-rays that helps carcinogenesis, the form of cancer. This may be due to the capability to destroy the genome or to the separation of cellular metabolic methods. Various radioactive materials are recognized carcinogens, but their carcinogenic action is connected to the transmission, for example, gamma rays and alpha bits, which they release. General examples of non-radioactive carcinogens are inhaled asbestos, some dioxins, and tobacco smoke.
