The correct answer is "The crystals did not phosphoresce within the drawer but did expose the film."

Becquerel  is credited to have discovered radioactivity. Becquerel was studying the properties of x-ray using naturally fluorescent minerals. Uranium shows radioactive decay. It is the high energy invisible radiation from uranium that exposed the photographic film.
