The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Approximate wavelength ranges: gamma rays \(\lt 10^{-11}\) m, X rays \(10^{-11}\) to \(10^{-8}\) m, ultraviolet \(10^{-8}\) to \(4\times10^{-7}\) m, visible \(4\times10^{-7}\) to \(7\times10^{-7}\) m, infrared \(7\times10^{-7}\) to \(10^{-3}\) m, microwaves \(10^{-3}\) to \(10^{-1}\) m, radio waves \(\gt 10^{-1}\) m.
Ascending order of wavelength: G, X, U, V, I, M, R.
Answer: (3) G, X, U, V, I, M and R
