A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A dull blade is actually more dangerous to use than one that is sharp. Here’s why: A dull blade requires more pressure to cut, increasing the chance that the knife will slip with great force behind it. A sharp knife “bites” the surface more readily.

Detailed explanation-2: -Blunt knives are common culprits of causing you to slip whilst chopping food. You need to be aware of this when using them avoid hurting yourself or others.

Detailed explanation-3: -Why are dull knives dangerous? Because the wounds that can be inflected by a dull knife edge can cause more damage than necessary. A smooth clean cut to the fingers is far better than a jagged cut that can tear through the skin.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sharp knives are significantly safer than dull ones, and we have studies to prove it. The reason has to do with a physics phenomenon known as force exposure. The sharper your blade, the less downward force you must use to cut whatever it is you’re using the knife on.
