Typical conditions used for sterilization are
A)100°C for 10 minutes.
B)121°C at 15 psi for 15 minutes.
C)80°C for 15 minutes.
D)72°C for 15 seconds.

Accepted Answer

The typical conditions for sterilization are achieved through the use of an autoclave which operates at high pressure and temperature. Option B is the only one that describes the correct temperature (121°C) and pressure (15 psi) for effective sterilization. The other options either do not achieve the required temperature or pressure, or do not meet the minimum time required for sterilization.
