Correct option is A

✅ (a) IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency):
· The IAEA provides technical advice and support on the safe use of nuclear technology, including monitoring and managing radionuclide contamination in food.
· It also guides food irradiation processes, which use ionizing radiation to improve food safety and shelf life.
· IAEA collaborates with international bodies to establish safety standards for radiation in food.
❌ (b) OIE: Focuses on animal health and welfare. ❌ (c) ISO: Develops international standards but does not specifically handle radionuclide contamination. ❌ (d) FAO: Works on food and agriculture but IAEA is specialized in radiation safety.
