What is capable of destroying a virus?

  1. Bactericidal

  2. Fungicidal

  3. Sporicidal

  4. Virucidal

The correct answer is: Bactericidal

The correct answer is "Bactericidal." A bactericidal substance is capable of destroying bacteria, not viruses. So, even though the other choices (Fungicidal, Sporicidal, Virucidal) refer to substances that can destroy fungi, spores, and viruses respectively, only "Bactericidal" is directly related to destroying viruses.
