C) glucose molecules.
D) water molecules.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In MRI technology, the magnetism is used to align hydrogen atoms present in the body. The hydrogen atoms, which are abundant in the body due to their presence in water and fat molecules, align themselves with the direction of the magnetic field during the scan. This alignment produces signals that are detected by the scanner, and these signals are used to create an image of the body. Therefore, choice B is the best option.
