The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is not correct among the given options, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze the Statements 1. **Statement A**: Antiseptics can be added to soap. - This statement is correct. Antiseptics are often added to soaps to enhance their ability to kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms. 2. **Statement B**: Dilute solutions of some disinfectants can be used as antiseptics. - This statement is also correct. Certain disinfectants, when diluted to appropriate concentrations, can function as antiseptics. For example, phenol in a diluted form can be used as an antiseptic. 3. **Statement C**: Disinfectants are antimicrobial drugs. - This statement is correct. Disinfectants are indeed considered antimicrobial agents as they are used to kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms. 4. **Statement D**: Antiseptic medicines can be ingested. - This statement is incorrect. Antiseptics are meant for external use only and can be harmful or toxic if ingested. They are not designed for ingestion and can cause serious health issues if swallowed. ### Step 2: Conclusion Based on the analysis, the statement that is not correct is **Statement D**: "Antiseptic medicines can be ingested." ### Final Answer The incorrect statement is: **Antiseptic medicines can be ingested.** ---
