Question

Which of the following is true of hydrogen peroxide?

Accepted Answer

A) It is a sterilant for inanimate objects and is quickly inactivated on living tissue. 
B) It leaves a toxic residue. 
C) It is broken down by catalase into water and oxygen. 
D) It is even more effective when used in combination with peracetic acid. 
E) It is a sterilant for inanimate objects and is quickly inactivated on living tissue; it is broken down by catalase into water and oxygen; AND it is even more effective when used in combination with peracetic acid.
