Answer
A
the color of the X-ray
B
the intensity of the X-ray
C
the distance the X-ray device is from the patient
D
the amount of time the patient is exposed to the X-ray

Explanation

The technician can reduce radiation exposure by lowering the X-ray intensity, increasing the distance between the device and the patient, or shortening the exposure time. These adjustments reduce the radiation reaching the patient. The color of an X-ray is not a machine setting used to limit exposure.
