Which of the following is a graphical representation of the relationship between radiation dose and observed response, in which any dose may have a potential effect, and there is a direct relationship between dose and effect?

A linear dose-response curve represents a direct relationship between radiation dose and the observed response, where any dose may have a potential effect. The other options are:
- A nonlinear dose-response curve shows that the response to radiation is not directly proportional to the dose, and there may be a plateau or a decrease in response at high doses.
- A linear quadratic dose-response curve takes into account both linear and quadratic components, meaning that the response increases linearly with dose at low doses but eventually levels off, and then starts increasing quadratically at higher doses.
- A threshold dose-response curve indicates that there is a minimum dose below which there is no observed response, and above which the response increases with dose.
