You have found that the D-value (decimal reduction value) of an antimicrobial agent to be 4 minutes when the agent was exposed to a bacterial culture having an initial total viable cel1 count of 10°CFU/mL. After 4 minutes upon addition of the antimicrobial agent, what would have been the total viable count of the culture in this experiment?A) O 10° CFU/mLB) O 10$ CFU/mLC) O 10° CFU/mLD) O 10' CFU/mL
