Astudent is concerned about background radiation that she is exposed to. she claims that nuclear power plants have caused background radiation, and that if they had not been built, she would not be exposed to radioactivity. what is incorrect about her reasoning

Based on the given statement or reasoning above made by a student, what makes her reasoning incorrect is the part where she mentioned that "if they had not been built, she would not be exposed to radioactivity." This is definitely false. What makes this incorrect is that background radiation is a kind of radiation that is emitted by the sun, stars, and other bodies outside the universe and therefore, no one can escape from this. Hope this helps.
