Question

a. 〇 during
b. 〇 before
c. 〇 after
d. 〇 before, during, and after

Explanation:

In food safety and kitchen hygiene, cleaning and sanitizing the food preparation area is important before (to remove any contaminants from previous use), during (to prevent cross - contamination while working, e.g., after handling raw meat and before handling ready - to - eat food), and after (to clean up any mess and kill remaining germs) food preparation. So the correct option is the one that includes all three time periods.

Answer:

D. before, during, and after
