Final answer:

No, seasoning should not be adjusted after food has been served. Adjustments need to be made before serving to ensure food safety and professional service. Reliance on appearance and smell is not a safe practice for a food handler.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking whether a food handler can trust their senses to determine if food is safe to adjust seasoning after it has been served. The correct answer is d. No, seasoning should be adjusted before serving. Once food has been served to a customer, it is not best practice to adjust the seasoning. This is a fundamental principle of food safety; any adjustment needed should be made prior to serving. The food's appearance and smell are not reliable indicators that it is safe to consume or adjust after serving. Furthermore, in a restaurant setting, it is unprofessional and generally not compliant with food service regulations to alter a dish after it has been served to the customer.
