Solution

The correct option is C applied on the body
These are mild chemical substances which, when applied on the body, kill germs. These substances are in such mild concentration that they cause no harm to the skin and body. Lysol, carbolic acid (phenol), Iodine, benzoic acid, Mercurochrome, boric acid etc in dilute solution are good antiseptics. Certain antibiotic creams also serve the same purpose.
