Explanation:

First Question (Beam Penetrability)

Beam penetrability relates to the energy of the X - ray beam. kVp (kilovoltage peak) controls the energy of the X - ray photons. Increasing kVp increases beam energy and thus penetrability. mAs affects quantity (density), distance affects intensity via inverse - square law, and filtration removes low - energy photons (hardens beam but not primary for penetrability adjustment like kVp).

Beam quality is about the energy of the X - ray beam. kVp determines the maximum energy of X - ray photons, so adjusting kVp changes beam quality. mAs affects quantity, distance affects intensity, and filtration is for beam hardening (secondary to kVp for quality change).

Answer:

B. kVp
