Answer 1

The mistake that the student made is:

C. Radio waves are used by food companies to sterilize produce.

This statement is incorrect because radio waves are not typically used for sterilization. Instead, microwaves (which are a type of electromagnetic radiation) or other methods such as heat or irradiation are generally used for food sterilization. Radio waves are primarily used for communication, such as broadcasting radio and television signals.
