Question

question 2 out of 14:
which of the following removes germs (like bacteria, viruses, or fungi) but does not kill them?
(click for translation)
disinfecting
cleaning
sanitizing

Explanation:

• Disinfecting kills germs.
• Cleaning (like with soap/water) removes germs (bacteria, viruses, fungi) from surfaces but doesn't necessarily kill them.
• Sanitizing reduces germ numbers to safe levels, often involving killing or reducing. So the option that removes germs without killing is Cleaning.

Answer:

B. Cleaning (assuming the options are labeled as A. Disinfecting, B. Cleaning, C. Sanitizing; if labels differ, adjust but the correct option text is "Cleaning")
