Alpha radiation can only travel a few centi-metres in air and can be stopped (or absorbed) by a sheet of paper. Alpha particles can only penetrate a very thin sheet of paper and is totally blocked by the concrete. As these particles move through the air, it loses energy from the collisions with air molecules making it less penetrating.<span>
 
On the other hand:
Beta radiation can travel a bit further, around tens of centi-metres in air so a thicker substance is required to absorb the radiation. It can be stopped by a thin sheet of aluminium.

Gamma radiation however can travel for many meters so it requires a material much thicker to absorb it.</span>

D Is going to be your answer

Explanation:
The chloroplasts are cell structures that are photosynthesis. The Golgi apparatus is the site transport of substance out of the cell. Mitochondria is the site of cellular respiration.
The two main functions of organelle is that it stores the herediatary material, DNA and it coordinates the cell's activities like growth, intermediary metabolism, protein synthesis, and reproduction. Eukaryotes are the cells of advanced organisms have a nucleus.
The results of the sample produces ATP, the sample is plant and the plant cells have an envelope surrounding the nucleus.
