QUESTION

Which is bactericidal in smoking?

OPTIONS

(A) HCHO
(B) Phenol
(C) Both (a) and (b)
(D) Saw dust/hard dust

ANSWER

(C) Both (a) and (b)

EXPLANATION

Formaldehyde and phenolic compounds in smoke both exert antimicrobial or bactericidal effects and contribute to preservation of smoked meat. Sawdust is the smoke-generating material rather than the active bactericidal compound itself. Therefore, option (C) is correct.
