Explanation:

First Question (Mistake by the cook)

When handling raw meat (ground beef) and then ready - to - eat food (hamburger buns), single - use gloves used for raw meat can contaminate the buns. The correct practice is to change gloves (and wash hands before putting on new gloves) when moving from raw to ready - to - eat food. Option A is wrong because single - use gloves are appropriate for raw meat, not reusable. Option B is wrong as single - use gloves aren't sanitized and reused. Option C is wrong as the issue is the gloves' contamination from raw meat, not hand washing before using the same gloves. Option D is correct as the cook should have washed hands and put on new gloves before slicing buns.

To prevent food allergens from transferring to food, cleaning and sanitizing utensils before use is key. This removes allergens from previous use. Buying from reputable suppliers (Option B) is about food safety in general, not allergen transfer. Storing cold food (Option C) is for temperature control. Avoiding pewter and copper (Option D) is not related to allergen transfer. So Option A is correct.

Answer:

D. The cook did not wash hands and put on new gloves before slicing the hamburger buns.
