Solution

The correct choice to complete the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English is "radiation:". This is because the colon (:) is used to introduce a list or an explanation of something mentioned before the colon. In this case, the explanation of how the paramacrobiotus can survive dangerous levels of UV radiation is given after the colon. The other options do not provide the correct punctuation for this sentence structure.
