separate
B

C
clean
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Use separate cutting boards and plates for produce, meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs: Use one cutting board for fresh produce or other foods that won’t be cooked before they’re eaten, and another for raw meat, poultry, or seafood. Replace them when they are worn.

Detailed explanation-2: -Avoid Cross-Contamination However, consider using one cutting board for fresh produce and bread and a separate one for raw meat, poultry, and seafood. This will prevent bacteria on a cutting board that is used for raw meat, poultry, or seafood from contaminating a food that requires no further cooking.

Detailed explanation-3: -If possible, use one cutting board for meat, poultry and seafood and another one for fruits and vegetables. Otherwise, wash cutting boards, dishes and counter tops with hot, soapy water after preparing each food item. Always use a clean cutting board, and replace cutting boards that have become excessively worn.

Detailed explanation-4: -After cutting raw meat, poultry or seafood on your cutting board, clean thoroughly with hot soapy water, then disinfect with chlorine bleach or other sanitizing solution and rinse with clean water.
