Right option is (b) True, True

To explain: Pathogenic bacteria look, smell and taste perfectly normal. That’s how we end up consuming up them and getting infections. To multiply, bacteria require food, warmth, moisture and time. Hence, we should avoid subjecting prepared food for these conditions.
