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

Detailed explanation-1: -In the refrigerator: Any frozen food can safely be thawed in the refrigerator. When thawing raw meat, put it in a container to prevent juices from dripping and contaminating other foods. In cold water: Place food in a leak proof plastic bag and put it in cold water.

Detailed explanation-2: -1. Defrost Meat: Refrigerator Method   10 to 24 hours. In the refrigerator overnight: this is by far the safest way to thaw meat but not the quickest method for sure. By keeping the meat at a constant 40°F or lower (4.4°C ), the frozen meat will slowly and safely defrost overnight.

Detailed explanation-3: -On top of that, when your food thaws in the temperature danger zone (41°F to 135°F), bacteria can multiply on your food to the point of being dangerous, even if you refreeze the food. This is the biggest advantage to thawing food in the refrigerator-the food can thaw without ever entering the temperature danger zone.
