The correct option is D

Lysol


Phenol, iodine and boric acid are antiseptics whereas lysol is a disinfectant. Antiseptics are mild germ-killing chemicals that are applied on a living body while disinfectants are stronger germ-killing chemicals that are generally used on non-living spots like floor.
