Answer: The correct answer is B; E. Coli.

Step-by-step explanation:

E. Coli can be prevented by cooking meat thoroughly. This bacteria can be killed if the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees fahrenheit. If a person is cooking leafy veggies, it is hard to get a correct temp, however, if the leaves are wilted, the bacteria should be gone. This bacteria can also be found in some water sources such as well water.

To help prevent the spread of this bacteria, never eat uncooked meat,wash your hands with soap and hot water, and clean surfaces after having raw meat on counters, etc.
