Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Deodorants and antiperspirants are NOT the same thing. They both reduce odor but work in different ways:

Deodorants are considered a cosmetic product. With the perfume they contain, they will keep your armpits fresh. They act by increasing the acidity of your skin, which bacteria don't feel attracted to. The bacteria causes odor in your armpit. They are usually based on an alcohol ingredient.

Antiperspirants reduce sweat to avoid a wet underarm. The main ingredient is aluminum, which blocks the sweat in your pores.

Deodorants don't dry up perspiration, antiperspirants do.
