Answer: Third option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Technetium - 99 m is used as a tracer in nuclear scanning.

Technetium -99 m is nuclear isomer which is efficient in detecting radioactive tracer in the body by medical equipment.

It is most commonly used in tracing nuclear scanning.

Hence, third option is correct.
