Solution

The correct options are
A Boiling
B Addition of tulasi leaves
C Exposing to sunlight
D Dropping red hot iron balls
Boiling and exposure helps to eliminate the microbes which are present in water. Tulasi leaves are believed to decontaminate water along with its numerous health benefits. Dropping red hot iron serves the same purpose of boiling by increasing the temperature of the water which kills the germs present in it.
