Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The temperature where bacteria multiplies most rapidly is:
A
30-90 degrees F
B
40- 140 degrees F
C
40-100 degrees F
D
30-140 degrees F
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bacteria grow most rapidly in the range of temperatures between 40 °F and 140 °F, doubling in number in as little as 20 minutes. This range of temperatures is often called the “Danger Zone.” Never leave food out of refrigeration over 2 hours.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most bacteria that cause disease grow fastest in the temperature range between 41 and 135 degrees F, which is known as THE DANGER ZONE.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bacteria multiply rapidly between 40 and 140 degrees. Bacteria will not multiply but may start to die between 140 and 165 degrees. Bacteria will die at temperatures above 212 degrees.

Detailed explanation-4: -The temperature range in which disease causing bacteria grow best in TCS food is called the temperature danger zone. The temperature danger zone is between 41°F and 135°F. TCS food must pass through the temperature danger zone as quickly as possible.

Detailed explanation-5: -41-135 degrees 5-57 Fahrenheit cold food kept up to 41 and hot food must be heated to 135 or higher but food can be held at highest temp. The temperature danger zone in Fahrenheit is 41 to 135, while in Celsius the temperature is 5 to 57. Bacteria grows rapidly at these temperatures. Doubling every 20 minutes.
