Why must beta particles be used to detect leaks in a pipe?

Why must beta particles be used to detect leaks in a pipe?
A. Beta particles will not be absorbed by the soil like gamma radiation, but won't pass through the pipe before reaching the leak like alpha radiation would.
B. Beta particles will not cause an electrical discharge like alpha particles when they interact with the metal pipe, or contaminate the water like gamma radiation.
C. Beta particles are not used, only alpha particles are used because they are not harmful to humans.
D. Beta particles will not be absorbed by the soil like alpha particles, but won't pass through the pipe before reaching the leak like gamma radiation would.
