(D) $X$-rays are a type of ionizing radiation. When $X$-rays interact with biological tissues,they cause damage to the $DNA$ structure by inducing mutations. These mutations can lead to the transformation of normal cells into cancerous cells. Agents that cause cancer are known as carcinogens. Therefore,$X$-rays act as physical carcinogens by damaging $DNA$ and inducing oncogenic transformation.
