Solution
The correct option is B Non-metals
Antiseptics are compounds that prevent the growth of disease-causing micro-organisms. A general antiseptic that is used to treat our wounds is tincture of iodine which is harmless to the human body. It kills the microbes present in our wounds. Other antiseptics include compounds made from carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen. Hence, a majority of the antiseptics are made using non-metals.
