Correct Answer

A. Germ theory of Dx

Explanation

The correct answer is Germ theory of Dx. The germ theory of disease states that microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses, are the primary causes of infectious diseases. This theory was developed by Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch in the late 19th century and revolutionized our understanding of how diseases spread and can be prevented. It led to advancements in hygiene, sterilization techniques, and the development of vaccines and antibiotics to combat infectious diseases.

-----------is the antimicrobial process during which all microorganism is killed or eliminated.
- Disinfection
- Sterilization
- Pasteurization
- Sanitization
Correct Answer

A. Sterilization

Explanation

Sterilization is the correct answer because it refers to the process of completely killing or eliminating all microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This process is commonly used in healthcare settings, laboratories, and food preparation industries to ensure the complete removal of any potential pathogens or contaminants. Disinfection, pasteurization, and sanitization are all related processes but do not guarantee the complete elimination of all microorganisms like sterilization does.
