Answer:

D

Explanation:

Gamma radiation penetrates the cell wall of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and can inhibit their metabolic functions as well as destroy their DNA.

Debunking the other answers:

A is incorrect as Gamma radiation is used in the treatment of cancer via radiotherapy.

B is incorrect as Gamma rays are too small and would just penetrate any smoke particles.

C is incorrect because Gamma rays are used to disinfect food products to prevent food borne illness. Irradiation is safe to use on food and does not make it radioactive.

Thus, D is correct.
