Explanation:

To determine the correct food safety practice for preventing biological hazards:

• Option a: Storing chemicals away from food prevents chemical hazards, not biological.
• Option b: Removing pits and bones addresses physical hazards, not biological.
• Option c: Washing hands before preparing food removes harmful microorganisms (like bacteria, viruses) from hands, which are biological hazards.
• Option d: Using cleaning chemicals away from food is about chemical hazard prevention.

So, washing hands before food preparation targets biological hazards.
