Answer: C and D

The Potato casserole and Cream of chicken soup should not be served.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fruit salad with bananas, sliced apples, and berries at 39°F can be served. Foods served cold must be stored in the refrigerator at 40°F. Any cold food at 40°F or less is safe to eat.

Roast chicken legs at 165°F can be served. Hot foods should be stored in warming trays at temperatures of 140°F or warmer. Since the roast chicken is at a higher temperature, it is safe to eat.

Potato casserole made with hard-cooked eggs at 132°F should not be served because it is colder than 140°F. This is unsafe to eat.

Cream of chicken soup made with milk at 125°F should not be served as it is colder than 140°F. This is also unsafe to eat.
