    1. 60 degrees celsius
    2. 70 degrees celsius
    3. 90 degrees celsius
    4. 100 degrees celsius
Correct Option: B

Outbreaks by the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza (bird flu) virus in poultry have raised concerns about the source of infection and the risk to humans from various exposures. The H5N1 virus is sensitive to heat. Normal temperatures used for cooking (70°C in all parts of the food) will kill the virus. Consumers need to be sure that all parts of the poultry are fully cooked (no pink parts) and that eggs, too, are properly cooked
