The gamma rays are having very large frequency. Thus, the energy acquired by the gamma ray photons is very large.

To stop the gamma ray, highly dense material is required.

The density of the lead is more than any other element in the given opitons.

Thus, the lead is used to stop the gamma rays.

Hence, 4th option is the correct answer.
