Answer:
Option C
CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH
Explanation:
Carbonxylic acids are compounds which has the general formula
R–COOH where R is an alkyl group.
Considering the options given in the question above,
For A:
CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ is an ether compound with general formula ROR' where R and R' are both alkyl group.
For B:
CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OH is an alcohol with general formula ROH where R is an alkyl group.
For C:
CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH is a carbonxylic acid with general formula R–COOH where R is an alkyl group.
For D:
CH₃CH₂C=OCH₂CH₃ is a ketone compound with general formula RC=OR' where R and R' are both alkyl group
For E:
ClCH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂Br is simply an Alkyl halide with general formula XRX where X is an halogen (i.e F, Cl, Br or I) and R is an alkyl group.
From the above illustration, only option C contains a Carbonxylic compound.
Answer:
Radiation is energy. It can come from unstable atoms that undergo radioactive decay, or it can be produced by machines. Radiation travels from its source in the form of energy waves or energized particles. There are different forms of radiation and they have different properties and effects.

Non-Ionizing and Ionizing Radiation
There are two kinds of radiation: non-ionizing radiation and ionizing radiation.
Non-ionizing radiation has enough energy to move atoms in a molecule around or cause them to vibrate, but not enough to remove electrons from atoms. Examples of this kind of radiation are radio waves, visible light and microwaves.
Ionizing radiation has so much energy it can knock electrons out of atoms, a process known as ionization. Ionizing radiation can affect the atoms in living things, so it poses a health risk by damaging tissue and DNA in genes. Ionizing radiation comes from x-ray machines, cosmic particles from outer space and radioactive elements. Radioactive elements emit ionizing radiation as their atoms undergo radioactive decay.
Radioactive decay is the emission of energy in the form of ionizing radiationHelpionizing radiationRadiation with so much energy it can knock electrons out of atoms. Ionizing radiation can affect the atoms in living things, so it poses a health risk by damaging tissue and DNA in genes.. The ionizing radiation that is emitted can include alpha particles, beta particles and/or gamma raysHelpgamma raysA form of ionizing radiation that is made up of weightless packets of energy called photons. Gamma rays can pass completely through the human body; as they pass through, they can cause damage to tissue and DNA.. Radioactive decay occurs in unstable atoms called radionuclides.
