At a water treatment works the water is passed through filter beds before it is sterilised. Suggest why this order is used.

A

Filtering raises the temperature of the water, so sterilising is faster

C

Filtering kills most of the microbes, so less chlorine has to be added

D

Filtering removes solids that could shield microbes from the sterilising agent
