b. refrigerating food within two hours of preparation
c. cutting all meats with the same knife

Answer 1

The answer is letter c. cutting all meats with the same knife. Using the same knife for cutting different meat may spread food-borne diseases. It would be better if one should clean the knife after every chopping or cutting of meat to prevent food-borne diseases.
