Answer:
The last option is the correct option
Explanation:
Laboratory equipment and work benches are cleaned (and stored properly in the case of equipment) after use so as to keep them free of the purpose it has been used for, which if not done, could lead to various undesirable events/aftermath. For example, if dyes or grease is used in a process in the laboratory, these compounds need to be washed off the glasswares (like measuring cylinder) it was poured in during the course of the experiment to prevent the glassware from retaining some of it's residual particles hence contaminating the glassware for future laboratory use. Cleaning must be done on the surfaces the experiment was carried out also for the same reason.
Hence, the correct option is the possibility of contamination in the laboratory is minimized.
