Answer»

The CORRECT option is (b) Rem

For explanation I would say: Rem is also a forming unit of radiation. It is used to MEASURE the amount of exposure to radiation the person has had and determine if it is WITHIN safe limits or beyond it. If the safety limits have been crossed, the person must stay away from the radiology area for a SPECIFIC period of TIME of quit working there altogether.
