Question

which of the following best explains how ultra violet filters remove microbes from polluted water?
*uv light destroys microbes by attacking the dna in cells
uv light inactivates microbes by emitting carbon monoxide
uv light kills microbes by generating noxious gas
uv light helps in the growth of microbes

Explanation:

UV light is known to damage the DNA of microbes. When the DNA is attacked, the microbes cannot reproduce or function properly, effectively destroying them. UV light does not emit carbon - monoxide, generate noxious gas to kill microbes in this context, and it certainly does not help in the growth of microbes.

Answer:

"UV light destroys microbes by attacking the DNA in cells"
