Which term is used for anomalies that are no longer anomalous because they have been intentionally or accidentally destroyed or disabled?

• A. Safe-Class
• B. Euclid-Class
• C. Neutralized
• D. Thaumiel-Class

Answer: (C)

Neutralized is the label used when an anomaly has lost its anomalous properties, typically because it was destroyed, disabled, or otherwise rendered non-functional. Once neutralized, there’s nothing anomalous left to contain, so the item’s status is effectively closed or archived. This is different from the main containment classes (Safe, Euclid, Keter), which describe how difficult the anomaly is to contain, not whether it remains anomalous. Thaumiel refers to SCPs the Foundation uses to help contain or defend against other anomalies, not to neutralization. So the best answer captures the idea of erasing or stopping the anomaly’s effects entirely.
