C: Radioactivity involves the nucleus of an atom. Microwaves are not produced by radioactivity. While radiation from a nucleus could remove an inner shell electron from another atom, and when this electron is replaced by another “falling” into its place while emitting an x-ray photon, this is not classed as radioactivity.
