Answer:

The correct answer is d. wash your hands to eliminate any germs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Raw meat products can have many pathogenic bacteria like Salmonella, Listeria, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, etc which can cause food-borne illnesses if it gets into our body during eating food.

So after touching raw meat with your bare hands, the hands should be washed properly with running water so that the bacteria that stuck on the hand after touching meat can be washed off from the hands and do not cause food borne disease.

In a study, it was found that washing hands with water can reduce bacterial count on hands to more than 75%. So the correct answer is d.
