Answer 1

b. check the refrigerator thermometer. if it is below 51°f, move food into working refrigerator.

Answer 2

correct answer is option C (check the food temperature to decide if it is safe. If the thermometer measures under 41 degrees Fahrenheit, then you move it to a working refrigerator)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a refrigerator there is a thermometer which is designed for the refrigerator and it should read 40 degrees Fahrenheit or lower inside the refrigerator. If a refrigerator stops working the first thing which should be checked is the food temperature to decide if it is safe. Because if temperature of food is above 40 degree Farenheit for more than 2 hours it should not be used. If the thermometer measures under 41 degrees Fahrenheit, then you move it to a working refrigerator.
