Answer»

The correct choice is (d) > 1000 rad

To explain I would SAY: Various studies show that more MATURE a cell, higher is its RESISTANCE to radiations. Nerve cells and muscle cells show high resistance to radioactivity. Nerve cells once generated, they stay for a long period of time. Thus, they are highly mature cells and so provide high resistance to the radioactivity.
