Dear student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query

Option (c) is correct

Researchers working with carbon 14 isotope (radioactive carbon),
X-ray technicians, painters, and dyers are at a risk of permanent
change in their DNA This is because radiocarbon, X-rays, dyeing
agents (like quinoline) and paints are all potent mutagens (cause a
change in DNA)
