What is an autoclave?

  1. A chemical exfoliator

  2. A machine for cleaning tools with ultrasonic waves

  3. A steam sterilizer

  4. A UV sanitizer

The correct answer is: A chemical exfoliator

An autoclave is a machine that uses steam to sterilize equipment and supplies. This is why option C is the correct answer. Option A, a chemical exfoliator, is incorrect because an autoclave does not use chemicals. Option B, a machine for cleaning with ultrasonic waves, is incorrect because while some autoclaves may have ultrasonic capabilities, it is not the primary function of an autoclave. Option D, a UV sanitizer, is also incorrect because an autoclave primarily uses steam for sterilization, not UV light.
