QUESTION

Pasteurization kills?

OPTIONS

(A) All microbes
(B) All virus
(C) Partially some viruses
(D) None of the above

ANSWER

(C) Partially some viruses

EXPLANATION

Pasteurization is not sterilization; it destroys vegetative pathogenic bacteria and reduces the total microbial load but does not eliminate all microorganisms or all viruses. Some viruses may be partially inactivated depending on their heat resistance and the process conditions. Among the choices, option (C) best reflects this limitation.
