Solution

The correct answer is c) Germs will survive at lower temperatures. This is because harmful bacteria, such as Salmonella, can be present in raw poultry like turkey. These bacteria are destroyed when the turkey is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), making it safe to eat. Cooking turkey to this temperature also ensures that all parts of the bird are cooked thoroughly.
