Answer: d

  1. 700 nm700\ \text{nm} to 1 mm1\ \text{mm} is infrared: vibration of atoms and molecules (i).
  2. 1 nm1\ \text{nm} to 400 nm400\ \text{nm} is ultraviolet: inner-shell electrons moving to a lower level (ii), as given in NCERT.
  3. <10−3 nm< 10^{-3}\ \text{nm} is gamma rays: radioactive decay of the nucleus (iii).
  4. 1 mm1\ \text{mm} to 0.1 m0.1\ \text{m} is microwaves: magnetron valve (iv).
  5. So the answer is (D) (a)-(i), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iii), (d)-(iv).
