Correct option is D
The correct answer is
(d) Ultra Violet radiations.
· Ultraviolet (UV) radiations are commonly used in pathology labs and other medical settings to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. UV-C light, in particular, has germicidal properties that can effectively disinfect surfaces, air, and water by damaging the DNA or RNA of microorganisms, thereby rendering them inactive.
