    • The animal room

    • An autoclave

    • The cage washroom

    • A ventilated work bench

    Correct Answer
    A. A ventilated work bench
    Explanation
    Microisolator cages should be changed in a ventilated work bench because it provides a controlled and sterile environment for handling the cages. The work bench is designed with a ventilation system that helps to remove any contaminants or allergens from the air, reducing the risk of contamination to the animals. Additionally, the work bench is equipped with a HEPA filter that further helps to maintain a clean and safe environment. Changing the cages in an autoclave, the cage washroom, or the animal room may not provide the same level of sterility and control as a ventilated work bench.
