Short Answer
Gray is the best answer.
Biophysics questions work best when you translate anatomy or instrumentation back into plain physics: pressure gradients, flow, diffusion, energy deposition, imaging contrast, and signal-to-noise.
Absorbed dose is measured in gray (Gy): 1 Gy = 1 J/kg of energy absorbed.
Why This Answer Is Correct
This is a Easy-level question in Biophysics & Medical Physics. The prompt is really testing whether you can connect the concept to its defining physical relationship instead of picking a nearby-but-wrong term.
Clinical wording can hide a simple physics core. Strip the scenario down to transport, force, energy, or measurement first.
Choices At A Glance
- A. Curie
- B. Sievert
- C. Gray
- D. Becquerel
When similar options appear on an exam, eliminate the ones that break the core law, use the wrong units, or confuse a definition with a consequence.
