What is the most penetrating kind of radiation product that can be shielded with aluminum foil?

Beta particles are more penetrating than alpha particles, but a sheet of aluminum foil can stop or greatly reduce them. Alpha particles are stopped by paper or skin, while gamma rays and other high-energy photons are much more penetrating and generally require dense shielding such as lead or thick concrete. Therefore, the correct choice is beta particles.
