The act of making objects and areas safe by eliminating blood or potential infectious substances is known as:

  1. Sterilization

  2. Sanitation

  3. Decontamination

  4. Disinfection

The correct answer is: Decontamination

Decontamination is the correct answer because it refers to the process of removing or neutralizing harmful substances, such as blood or infectious agents, from objects or areas. Sterilization may eliminate all microorganisms, but it does not specifically target blood or infectious substances. Sanitation involves cleaning but may not necessarily include the removal of harmful substances. Disinfection may kill certain microorganisms but may not be effective against all types.
