Average annual radiographic exposure to individuals living in the US is:

3.1mSv
6.2mSv
50mSv
10mSv

The correct answer is: 6.2mSv

The correct answer is B. 6.2mSv. The average annual radiographic exposure to individuals living in the US is typically around 6.2mSv.

It is important for dental professionals to be aware of these background radiation levels to minimize additional exposure from dental radiographic procedures. Options A, C, and D are incorrect: A. 3.1mSv is too low for the average annual radiographic exposure in the US. C. 50mSv is too high for the average annual radiographic exposure in the US. D. 10mSv is also too high for the average annual radiographic exposure in the US.
