Explanation:

Food safety guidelines state that ground meat products (like meatballs, which are made from ground meat) must be cooked to at least 155°F (68°C) to kill harmful bacteria. Oysters, when cooked, have different temperature requirements (often higher for raw - to - cooked, but not 155°F as a minimum for safe cooking in the same context), and elbow pasta is a carbohydrate - based food that doesn't need such a high temperature for safety (it's cooked for doneness, not microbial safety at 155°F).

Answer:

b. Meatballs
