Answer 1

A. Decontamination, Clean Processing, Sterile Storage illustrates the proper one-way flow.
This is because the items go through a process of first being decontaminated, then cleaned and processed in a sterile environment, and finally stored in a sterile area to maintain their cleanliness and prevent contamination. This process ensures that the items are safe for use and that cross-contamination is avoided.
