What temperature range defines the Danger Danger Zone?

  1. 70°F - 120°F

  2. 60°F - 130°F

  3. 80°F - 110°F

  4. 65°F - 125°F

The correct answer is: 70°F - 120°F

The correct answer is A. 70°F - 120°F. This temperature range defines the Danger Zone for food safety. The Danger Zone is the temperature range in which bacteria grow most rapidly on food. Keeping food out of this temperature range helps prevent the growth of harmful bacteria that can cause foodborne illnesses. Option B (60°F - 130°F), Option C (80°F - 110°F), and Option D (65°F - 125°F) are not the correct ranges for the Danger Zone, making them incorrect choices in this context.
