What is the lavender top additive, uses, and inverts how many times?

  1. Red tube 4-5 times

  2. Green tube 3-4 times

  3. Lavender tube 6-8 times

  4. Grey tube 5-6 times

The correct answer is: Lavender tube 6-8 times

The other options are incorrect because they either refer to the wrong color of the top additive for lavender (red or green tubes), or they do not invert the correct number of times (4-5 times for red and 3-4 times for green). Option D references a grey tube which is not mentioned in the question, making it incorrect. The lavender top additive should be inverted 6-8 times for proper use.
