Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A traditional X-ray uses high-energy electromagnetic waves to produce a two-dimensional picture on film. If the X-ray encounters bone, which it cannot penetrate, this appears white on the film. Whatever organ the X-ray passes through appears black on the film. Some soft tissue appears gray. Contrast agents can improve the clarity of the images, but X-rays do not produce good images of all organs and cannot see behind bones at all.
