Answer:

C. Alpha

Explanation:

In a nuclear reactor facility, radioactive decay takes place, which is any several processes by which unstable nuclei emit subatomic particles and ionizing radiation and disintegrate into one or more smaller nuclei. A scientist working under this condition is likely to be exposed to alpha particles because it contains a minimal absorption range and they are the least dangerous regarding external exposure.
