Why do some x-ray photons will pass through the human body without deflection? Because: 

  1. carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms are transparent to x-rays
  2. the energy of diagnostic x-rays is too low to produce interactions
  3. the wavelength of x-rays is too long to interact with an object with the dimensions of the human body
  4. the interior of atoms is mostly empty space

D: Apart from the positions where electrons and the nuclei are located, the rest of the body is empty space through which photons can travel unimpeded. They will interact only if they “hit” these sub-atomic particles. The other answers contain errors.
