Answer 1

Among the options you've provided, **Disinfecting** is the term that specifically refers to the process of killing or inactivating infectious agents.

Here's a brief overview of the other terms:

- **Sanitizing**: Reduces the number of germs to a safe level, but does not necessarily kill all infectious agents.
- **Immunizing**: Involves stimulating the immune system to protect against infectious agents but does not kill them directly.
- **Purifying**: Generally refers to removing contaminants, which may include pathogens, but doesn’t specifically imply killing them.

So, the correct answer is **Disinfecting**.
