What is the danger zone?
A
Temperature over 60’C where bacteria can grow very rapidly and can make people sick.
B
Zone between 5 and 60’C where bacteria grow very rapidly.
C
Zone between 5 and 60’C where bacteria stop growing.
D
Temperature below 5’C where bacteria can’t grow-they just stop reproducing making it dangerous.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Food poisoning bacteria grow best at temperatures between 5°C and 60°C. This is called the Temperature Danger Zone. Keeping potentially hazardous foods cold (below 5°C) or hot (above 60°C) stops the bacteria from growing.

Detailed explanation-2: -The temperature range in which most bacteria grow is between 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) and 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Raw and cooked foods should not be kept in this danger zone any longer than absolutely necessary. Undercooking or improper processing of home-canned foods can cause very serious food poisoning.

Detailed explanation-3: -Between 4°C and 60°C (or 40°F and 140°F) is the “Danger Zone.” Keep food out of this temperature range because bacteria will multiply rapidly. Between 0°C and 4°C (or 32°F and 40°F), most bacteria will survive but will not multiply quickly.
