Solution
The correct option is B Autoclave
The autoclave is an equipment like a large pressure cooker wherein the internal atmosphere is made up of steam to maintain the desired temperature with the help of pressure. At the point when steam pressure is 15 psi, the temperature of 121 degrees is obtained. The combination of heat and moisture causes protein denaturation and kills all endospores and vegetative cells thereby, making the glassware and other equipment sterilised.Thus, the correct answer is option B.
