The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each of the statements regarding antiseptics and disinfectants and determine which one is incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Antiseptics**: - Antiseptics are substances that can be safely applied to living tissues to prevent infection by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. - **Statement 1**: "Antiseptic can be safely applied to living tissues." - This statement is **correct**. 2. **Antiseptics in Products**: - Antiseptics can be incorporated into various personal care products like deodorants, face powders, and soaps to help reduce microbial growth. - **Statement 2**: "Antiseptic can be incorporated into deodorant, face powder, and soaps." - This statement is **correct**. 3. **Understanding Disinfectants**: - Disinfectants are chemical agents used to destroy or inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms on non-living surfaces. They are typically not safe for application on living tissues due to their high concentrations. - **Statement 3**: "Disinfectant can also be applied to skin safely." - This statement is **incorrect**. Disinfectants are not safe for skin application. 4. **Dilute Disinfectants as Antiseptics**: - Some disinfectants, when diluted to a very low concentration, can be used as antiseptics. For example, a dilute solution of phenol can serve as an antiseptic. - **Statement 4**: "A very dilute solution of a few disinfectants can be used as antiseptic." - This statement is **correct**. ### Conclusion: After analyzing all the statements, we find that **Statement 3** is the incorrect one. Therefore, the answer to the question is: **Answer: Option 3 - Disinfectant can also be applied to skin safely.** ---
