A.

Boiling

B.

Ultraviolet radiation

C.

Electromagnetic radiation

D.

Ethylene oxide

Correct option is D


Ans (d)
Sol. Explanation:
· Ethylene oxide is commonly used to sterilize medical equipment, including syringes, as it is effective in killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi without damaging heat-sensitive equipment.
· Boiling is not used for sterilizing syringes, as it may not kill all microorganisms, especially spores. It is more suitable for certain other types of equipment or food.
· Ultraviolet radiation and electromagnetic radiation are also used for sterilization, but they are not commonly used for sterilizing syringes in medical settings. Ethylene oxide remains the standard method for sterilizing such items in healthcare.
