Explanation:

1. PHF/TCS foods require temperature control to prevent pathogen growth, so refrigeration is necessary.
2. Cooked rice supports bacterial growth (e.g., Bacillus cereus) if not temperature-controlled, fitting PHF/TCS criteria.
3. Cut melons lose their protective rind, making them prone to contamination; safe storage requires refrigeration at ≤41°F.

Answer:

1. B. In a refrigerated case.
