Explanation
Answer: B - The range of temperatures known as the temperature danger zone is 41°F to 135°F. Pathogens grow in food kept in the temperature danger zone for longer than four hours. Pathogens grow faster in the 70°F to 125°F range. Time spent in this range should be reduced to reduce risk of contamination.
