What does an autoclave use to sterilize objects?

UV Radiation
Chemical Vapor
High Pressure and Heat
Low Temperature Freezing

The correct answer is: High Pressure and Heat

An autoclave utilizes both high pressure and heat to effectively sterilize objects. UV radiation may be effective for disinfecting surfaces, but it is not suitable for sterilizing objects. Chemical vapor may also be used, but again, it is not as effective as high pressure and heat in achieving complete sterilization. Low temperature freezing may help slow down the growth of microorganisms, but it is not a reliable method for sterilization. Therefore, the correct answer is C High Pressure and Heat.
