choose the false statement.
possible answers:
a) reheating to 74°c (165°f) will thoroughly cook leftovers
b) freezing food will kill all pathogens
c) pathogens do not grow well above 60°c (140°f)
d) most pathogens grow slowly below 4°c (40°f)

Explanation:

Freezing slows pathogen growth but does not kill all pathogens; many can survive freezing and reactivate when thawed. The other statements are true: reheating to 74°C cooks leftovers thoroughly, pathogens grow poorly above 60°C, and most grow slowly below 4°C.

Answer:

B) Freezing food will kill all pathogens
