Explanation:
Elements that belong to same group contains same number of valence electrons. Hence, they tend to show similar chemical properties.
When we move across a period then number of electrons get added to the same shell. As a result, there will be no increase in size of elements.
Also, metals are the elements that belong to group 1, 2 and d-block elements are also known as metals. Metallic character of elements decreases when we move left to right in a periodic table.
As most reactive metals are placed on the left side of periodic table.
Since, size of elements increases on moving down the group. So, an element is able to easily lose its valence electrons because of less force of attraction between its nucleus and valence electrons.
As a result, there will be increase in reactivity of metals on moving down the group.
Thus, we can conclude that given sentences are as follows.
- Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
-
Elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells.
-
Metallic elements become less reactive as you move left to right in a period.
-
Metallic elements become more reactive as you move top to bottom in a group.

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.
