Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Because of only one setting for all cycles, there is minimal risk for user error; ozone leaves no residue and converts to oxygen in a short time with no aeration necessary. It is inexpensive to operate and its low temperature is safer for heat sensitive instruments.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Temperature, humidity/moisture/hydration, time, purity of the agent/air and residual effects, saturation/penetration, and capacity of the sterilizer are the parameters considered for the reliability of the sterilizing process.
