An agent that prevents or arrests the growth of microorganisms on living tissue is

  • A.a sanitizer
  • B.a detergent
  • C.an antiseptic
  • D.a sterilant for instruments

Answer: C

Antiseptics are formulated for skin and mucous membranes, so they must be active yet tolerable to tissue. Disinfectants are for inanimate surfaces and are often too irritant for skin, which is why the same chemical may appear at different strengths under both names.
