Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The temperature of a fridge should be
A
32 degrees or below
B
41 degrees or below
C
45 degrees or below
D
51 degrees or below
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The coldest part of the fridge should be between 0 degrees Celcius and 5 degrees Celcius (32 degrees Fahrenheit and 41 degrees Fahrenheit). You could use a probe thermometer to check if food is being kept hot (above 63 degrees Celcius) or cold (below 8 degrees Celcius).

Detailed explanation-2: -Keep your appliances at the proper temperatures. Keep the refrigerator temperature at or below 40° F (4° C). The freezer temperature should be 0° F (-18° C). Check temperatures periodically. Appliance thermometers are the best way of knowing these temperatures and are generally inexpensive.

Detailed explanation-3: -What Is the Best Temperature for My Refrigerator? The ideal refrigerator temperature is 40 degrees Fahrenheit or below, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These temperatures inhibit the growth of microorganisms that can cause foodborne illnesses, such as salmonella, listeria, and E.

Detailed explanation-4: -The ideal refrigerator temperature is about 37°F (3°C). However, a range of 33–40°F (0–4°C) is generally accepted as safe for most purposes. Temperatures below 33°F may freeze foods while temperatures above 40°F may lead to food spoilage.
