Answer»

Correct CHOICE is (B) False

For explanation I would say: No, this is a false statement. β-rays are charged particles emitted by RADIOACTIVE NUCLEI. THEREFORE, these rays are highly energetic electrons that are released from the inside of a nucleus. Thus, these are not electromagnetic radiations.
