Explanation:

Question 28

To hold hot food safely for serving, the minimum temperature to prevent bacterial growth is \(135^\circ\text{F}\). This is a standard in food safety for hot - holding.

For re - heating food to be safe, it should reach \(165^\circ\text{F}\) to kill harmful bacteria. This is a well - established food safety guideline for reheating.

The maximum safe temperature for a refrigerator to store food and prevent bacterial growth is \(41^\circ\text{F}\). Temperatures above this can allow bacteria to multiply.

Answer:

B. \(135^\circ\text{F}\)
