reverse osmosis because it requires no filters, and removes all contaminants such as bacteria and chemicals

ultraviolet radiation because it requires no filters, and removes all contaminants such as bacteria and chemicals
ultraviolet radiation because it requires no filters, and removes all contaminants such as bacteria and chemicals

reverse osmosis because it requires low maintenance, and removes all contaminants such as bacteria and chemicals
reverse osmosis because it requires low maintenance, and removes all contaminants such as bacteria and chemicals

ultraviolet radiation because it requires no energy, and removes all contaminants such as bacteria and chemicals

Answer 1

The best reasoning in this scenario would be:

reverse osmosis because it requires low maintenance, and removes all contaminants such as bacteria and chemicals.

This option highlights the effectiveness of reverse osmosis in eliminating a broad range of contaminants, including bacteria and chemicals, while also noting that it typically requires less maintenance compared to other systems.

The other options present inaccuracies:

• Reverse osmosis does require filters that need to be replaced periodically.
• Ultraviolet radiation does require energy to operate and is effective primarily against microorganisms, but it does not remove chemical contaminants.

Therefore, the correct choice is focused on reverse osmosis's effectiveness and maintenance considerations.
