Final answer:

'D. Inferior view', as well as the other options listed since they are standard radiographic views that do not inherently require the use of barium unless part of a specialized contrast study.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question appears to relate to the types of diagnostic imaging views taken during radiographic examinations. In these imaging techniques, barium is often used as a contrast medium in specific types of radiographic studies, such as barium swallows or barium enemas, to highlight the digestive tract. For standard radiographic views, such as a lateral view (the side view of the body), an anterior-posterior (AP) view (a front-to-back view), an oblique view (angled view), and an inferior view (looking upward from below), barium is not typically required unless assessing the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, barring specific digestive tract examinations, the view typically done without barium would be

Standard radiographic views such as lateral, anterior-posterior (AP), oblique, and inferior views do not typically require the use of barium, unless they are part of a specific contrast study focused on the gastrointestinal tract.
