Best answer
Right choice is (a) 20 nm

Explanation: The pore size of the filtration membrane for the removal of the virus is 20 nm. The viruses are smaller than bacteria and therefore the pore size for the removal of the virus is less than that of bacteria. Viruses also reproduce inside the bacteria and can infect them which are commonly referred to as bacteriophage.
