Wiping off the surface of the lab table with a disinfectant.

Reason: disinfecting the work surface reduces or kills bacteria on the table, lowering the chance they’ll be transferred to the notebook. Gloves could transfer contaminants if not changed, and the other options don’t reliably remove microbes.
