The provided question is not complete as it lacks the appropriate choices for the answer, however, the correct choices are:
Which of the following will NOT prevent many bacterial infections?
a. allowing foods to cool completely before refrigerating
b. washing hands and surfaces with soap and water
c. storing food in a refrigerator
d. heating objects to very high temperatures
Answer:
The correct answer would be - allowing foods to cool before refrigerating.
Explanation:
Bacterial infections can be prevented by many processes such as washing hands with soap and water thoroughly for a minimum of twenty seconds. Storing food in the refrigerator helps the food to be fresh and infection-free from various microbes.
Heating the food, water, and tools to very high temperature helps in killing the bacteria present in these and leads to bacterial infection. Cooling the food before storing it in the refrigerator may cause bacteria to infect the food.
