Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Carbolic acid is the prototype 6-carbon aromatic compound. It was first used as a germicide by Lister in his pioneering work on antiseptic surgery.

Peracetic acid is an excellent disinfectant with sterilization capabilities. It kills microbes by de-naturing proteins, disrupting cell wall permeability, and oxidizing cellular metabolites. Its short-coming is that it can corrode brass, iron, copper, and steel.
