Answer 1

The most accurate reasoning for choosing a water filtration technology among the provided options is:

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

Here’s why:

• Reverse osmosis is known for effectively removing a wide range of contaminants from water, including bacteria, viruses, salts, and other impurities.
• It typically requires some form of maintenance, but many systems are designed to minimize this, making them relatively low-maintenance.
• Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is effective in killing bacteria and viruses, but it does not remove chemicals or particulates, and it does require energy.
• Additionally, most filtration systems, including reverse osmosis, do involve some filters, so the statements claiming no filters are incorrect.

Overall, reverse osmosis is a more comprehensive option for ensuring safe drinking water due to its ability to deal with a variety of contaminants.
