Which of the following lists the processes from the most infectious agents killed to the least infectious agents killed?

Sterilization destroys all microorganisms, including resistant forms such as bacterial spores, so it kills the most infectious agents. Disinfection kills many disease-causing microorganisms but may not destroy spores. Cleaning removes dirt and some microorganisms, but generally kills or removes the fewest infectious agents of these three processes.
