Show answer and solution
Correct option: B
Solution
Penicillin G is a narrow spectrum antibiotic (effective mainly against gram-positive bacteria). Furacin (nitrofurazone) is an antiseptic used on skin/wounds. Sulphur dioxide is a disinfectant used to sterilize equipment and as a food preservative. Chloramphenicol is a broad spectrum antibiotic effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. This gives A–III, B–I, C–II, D–IV.
