Ans: C. A chemical tape indicator found inside an enclosed package of nondisposable equipment can be used to determine if the equipment was processed through the sterilization procedure correctly.

Keep in mind that the tape may only indicate if the process was followed but does not indicate the presence or absence of viable spores (living organisms).
