Explanation:

A) Antiseptics are applied to the living tissues such as wounds, cuts, ulcers and diseased skin surfaces. Examples are furacine, soframicine, etc. These are not ingested like antibiotics. Commonly used antiseptic, Dettol is a mixture of chloroxylenol and terpineol.

B) Synthetic progesterone: Norethindrone is an example of synthetic progesterone derivative most widely used as antifertility drug.

C) Food preservative: Food preservatives prevent spoilage of food due to prohibiting microbial growth. The most commonly used preservatives include table salt, sugar, vegetable oils and sodium benzoate, C6H5COONa. Sodium benzoate is used in limited quantities and is metabolized in the body. Salts of sorbic acid and propanoic acid are also used as preservatives.

D) Artificial sweetening agent: Natural sweeteners, e.g., sucrose adds to calorie intake and therefore many people prefer to use artificial sweeteners. Ortho-sulphobenzimide, also called saccharin, is the first popular artificial sweetening agent.
