Correct option (a) Ultraviolet waves
Explanation:
Ultraviolet waves or UV rays are used for detecting fake and forged currency. The paper currency has a strip that is embedded in the note. This strip cannot be forged like that in the original currency.
An authentic paper currency will fluoresce when it is illuminated by long wave ultraviolet light.
