What is the Danger zone in relation to Bacteria?
A
Worst conditions possible for Bacteria to grow
B
The time it takes for Bacteria to grow
C
Optimum temperature range for Bacteria to grow
D
When bacteria grows in sinks that have water left in them
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Leaving food out too long at room temperature can cause bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella Enteritidis, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Campylobacter) to grow to dangerous levels that can cause illness.

Detailed explanation-2: -Let the abbreviation OGT means the middle of the optimal growth temperature range. The considered OGTs range from 2 to 52.5°C in plastid species, from 22.5 to 114°C in archaea, and from 7 to 85°C in bacteria (ref. to the Supplementary Spreadsheet) ().

Detailed explanation-3: -Plus, by cooking your food well, you can kill the most harmful bacteria ( 4 ). It’s important to keep perishable foods above 140°F or below 40°F (greater than 60°C or less than 4°C) to prevent the growth of harmful pathogens. Summary. The temperature danger zone is the temperature range of 40–140°F (4.4–60°C).

Detailed explanation-4: -As the name suggests, the danger zone refers to a temperature range that’s dangerous for foods to be held at. And that range is between 40°F and 140°F.
