- A. Hydrogen peroxide
- B. Ethyl alcohol
- C. Sodium bicarbonate
- D. Chlorhexidine digluconate
- E. Potassium permanganate
Hint
Compare the antiseptics by how they act (oxidation, protein denaturation, membrane damage) and by whether they also precipitate tissue proteins to give an astringent effect.
