The emission of continuous $X$-rays is due to:

  • A
    Transition of electrons from higher energy level to lower energy level in the target atom.
  • B
    Deceleration of incident electrons as they enter the target atom.
  • C
    Transition of electrons from lower energy level to higher energy level in the target atom.
  • D
    Neutralization of incident electrons.
