Answer:

germicide removal of microbes from a limited area

Explanation:

Antisepsis refers to the practice of using an antiseptic substance to remove or destroy disease-causing pathogens.

Virucides are chemical agents that aid in the deactivation or destruction of viruses.

Germicides are chemical agents that are capable of destroying germs with germs being harmful microscopic organisms.

Disinfection refers to the action of using chemicals to clean off or destroy bacteria from an area.

Considering the definition of each term above, the mismatched pair of all the terms is germicide - germicide removal of microbes from a limited area.

Germicide is a substance and not an action.
