Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Question

The question asks about the primary source of radiation exposure to veterinary workers, assuming they avoid the direct beam from the tube head.

Step 2: Analyze the Options

Option a: Primary and secondary radiation
Option b: Scattered and primary radiation
Option c: Secondary and stochastic radiation
Option d: Scatter radiation

Step 3: Determine the Correct Answer

Veterinary workers are primarily exposed to scatter radiation, which is radiation that has been deflected from its original path by interaction with matter. This is the most common form of radiation exposure in such settings when the direct beam is avoided.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{d. scatter radiation}}\)
