Explanation:

Washing hands before and after preparing food is a key practice in food safety. Before preparing food, it removes any contaminants on the hands that could get into the food. After preparing food, it prevents any potential pathogens from the food (like raw meat juices) from spreading to other surfaces or being ingested later. Using the bathroom (a) is a time to wash hands after, not before. Handling packaged food (b) may not require hand - washing as the package acts as a barrier. Putting away clean dishes (c) doesn't typically involve food contamination risks that hand - washing would prevent.

Answer:

d) Before and after preparing food
