Step-by-step explanation:

Gamma radiation, unlike alpha and beta, doesn't consist of any particles, instead consisting of a photon of energy being emitted from an unstable nucleus.

Having no mass of charge, gamma radiation can travel much farther through the air than alpha or beta, losing half its energy for every 500 ft.

Answer: D. Gamma
