C.

Dilute solutions of boric acid and hydrogen, peroxide are strong antiseptics

Antiseptics and disinfectants both either kill or prevent the growth of microorganisms. The main point of difference between these two is that the former (antiseptics) are used for living beings whereas disinfectants are not safe for living tissues. These are actually used for inanimate objects like floors, tiles etc.

A substance like phenol in its lower concentration (0.2%) behaves as antiseptic whereas in higher concentration (1%) as disinfectant. Chlorine and iodine are strong disinfectants whereas dilute solutions of boric acid and hydrogen peroxide are mild antiseptics.
