Explanation:

"Radiation emanating from mobile communication technology is capable of causing male infertility."

This statement is correct.There is evidence suggesting a potential link between prolonged exposure to mobile phone radiation and certain negative health effects, including aspects of male fertility.

"Food irradiation is the phenomenon which makes food radioactive due to its prolonged exposure to microwaves."

This statement is incorrect. Food irradiation refers to the process of exposing food to ionizing radiation, such as gamma rays, X-rays, or electron beams, to kill bacteria, parasites, and other pathogens. This process does not make the food radioactive. Moreover, irradiation and exposure to microwaves (used in microwave ovens) are different; microwave exposure does not make food radioactive.

Based on these clarifications, the correct answer is:

1 only.
