Explanation:

• Cold water in the sink: Submerging food in cold water (changing the water every 30 minutes) can thaw food relatively quickly while keeping it at a safe temperature range (below 40°F or 4.4°C for the majority of the thawing time).
• Microwave (if you use immediately): Microwaving is a quick thawing method, but since microwaving can cause uneven heating and start to cook parts of the food, the food should be cooked immediately after thawing to prevent bacterial growth in the partially - thawed (and potentially warmed) areas.
• Refrigerator: Thawing food in the refrigerator is the safest method as the refrigerator temperature (32 - 40°F or 0 - 4.4°C) inhibits bacterial growth.
• Countertop: Thawing on the countertop is unsafe. Bacteria can multiply rapidly at room temperature (40 - 140°F or 4.4 - 60°C), which is the temperature range where the "danger zone" for bacterial growth lies.

Answer:

A. Cold water in the sink, B. Microwave (if you use immediately), C. Refrigerator
