Question

why cant i eat raw cookie dough?
speaking of germs, raw cookie dough might look tasty—but no, you shouldnt ever eat it, and heres why: most cookie dough has raw eggs and flour in it, and that can be a recipe for trouble.
theres a small chance that raw eggs are carrying germs called salmonella that come from infected chickens or unclean cages. salmonella causes food poisoning. food poisoning can make a person very sick, but most people recover after about a week.
flour is made from ground raw wheat or other grains, and it can carry a different germ, called e. coli, which is found in animal droppings. deer and cows can transfer e. coli to grains when they walk around fields, and e. coli can make its way into flour if machinery hasnt been properly cleaned. e. coli poisoning can make people sick.
its really rare for eggs or flour to get contaminated with salmonella and e. coli, because farmers and food workers follow all kinds of safety procedures. but people should avoid eating those foods raw, just in case.
thankfully, baking cookie dough makes it totally safe to eat. so dig in to those gooey chocolate chip cookies!

Mixing eggs with flour (A) doesn't address the germ - killing aspect. Adding yeast (B) and chocolate chips (D) are not mentioned as safety - ensuring actions. Baking (C) is the process that makes the dough safe as it likely kills the germs.
