Answer»

Correct answer is (C) 5000 mrem

Best explanation: A person working in the radiology DEPARTMENT is in constant contact with the radioactive devices which are giving out radiations. Since RADIOACTIVITY is HARMFUL to the body a threshold is set beyond which a person should not be exposed to radiations. For a person involved in radiology, the limit is of 5000 mrem PROVIDED they take all the precautions, like wearing a lead jacket etc.
