The process in which an antimicrobial agent destroys the growth of pathogenic microorganisms is?

  1. Sterilization

  2. Disinfection

  3. Cleaning

  4. Sanitizing

The correct answer is: Disinfection

Disinfection is the process of destroying or inhibiting the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. Sterilization involves completely eliminating all microorganisms, while cleaning and sanitizing involve removing dirt and reducing the number of microorganisms, but not necessarily killing them. Therefore, the other options are incorrect as they do not specifically focus on the destruction of pathogenic microorganisms.
