Vedclass · Answer

(C) $X$-rays are ionizing radiations. When the electroscope is exposed to $X$-rays,they ionize the air molecules inside the electroscope enclosure.These ions (positive and negative) are attracted to the charged gold leaves.The charges of opposite polarity to that on the leaves neutralize the charge on the leaves.As the net charge on the leaves decreases,the electrostatic repulsion between them decreases,causing the leaves to collapse.
