Answer 1

Answer:(A) time-temperature abuse of the roast beef.

Explanation:

Foods are susceptible to the action of microbes when they are exposed to certain temperature ranges and for appreciable time. This is called as time-temperature abuse.

The roasted beef must not be left exposed to 40-140 F for more than 2 hours. This will cause time-temperature abuse and the roasted beef will get contaminated with airborne microbes.
