BAbout 70 degrees C
CAbout 150 degrees C
DAbout 250 degrees C
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. About 70 degrees C
1. Milk is heated for only 15 to 30 seconds.
2. The temperature used is about 70 degrees C, then it is cooled quickly.
3. 20 degrees is too cool to kill bacteria; 150 and 250 would cook the milk.
