• B. Dry heat
• C. Filtration
• D. UV radiation

Hint:

Always use filtration for sterilizing heat-sensitive solutions to maintain their stability and efficacy.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Heat-labile substances such as parenteral solutions that cannot withstand high temperatures are best sterilized using membrane filtration. This method ensures removal of microorganisms without exposing the substance to heat.
