What is capable of destroying mold and fungi?

  1. Bactericidal

  2. Fungicidal

  3. Sporicidal

  4. Virucidal

The correct answer is: Bactericidal

Bactericidal agents are capable of destroying mold and fungi. While all the other options are also types of agents that can kill specific microorganisms (such as viruses, fungi, and spores), the term "bactericidal" specifically refers to agents that are effective against bacteria. In the context of mold and fungi, bactericidal agents can be used to eliminate these types of microorganisms, making option A the correct choice in this scenario.
