C. 1.0 Sv

E. B and C

F. It varies with body site.

Answer:- E. B and C

Explanation:-

We know,

1 Gy(Gray) = 1 Sv (Sievert)

or, 1 Gy = 1.0 Sv [ in two significant figures]

And 1 Gy = 1.0 Gy [ in two significant figures]

Therefore, answer is option E. B and C

Gray(Gy) :- Gray is the SI unit of absorbed dose.

Sievert (Sv) :- Sievert is SI unit of equivalent radiation dose.
