The growth of microorganisms on the skin can be prevented by the use of?

A moisturizer
An antiseptic
A sunscreen
A cleanser

The correct answer is: An antiseptic

The growth of microorganisms on the skin can be prevented by the use of an antiseptic. Antiseptics are substances that can kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, on living tissue. It's important to use an antiseptic when treating cuts or wounds to prevent infections. The other options, such as moisturizers, sunscreen, and cleansers, do not have the same properties as antiseptics and would not be as effective in preventing the growth of microorganisms on the skin. Moisturizers and sunscreen are meant to protect and hydrate the skin, while cleansers are used to remove dirt and oil from the skin, but they do not have antibacterial properties like antiseptics do.
