Question

the contamination that results from a transfer of pathogens from one food or surface to another is known as: cross-contamination physical contamination transfer contamination chemical contamination

Explanation:

The question is about identifying the type of contamination that occurs when pathogens transfer from one food or surface to another. Cross - contamination is defined as the transfer of harmful substances (like pathogens) from one object or food to another. Physical contamination involves foreign objects, chemical contamination involves harmful chemicals, and "transfer contamination" is not the standard term for this concept. So the correct option is Cross - contamination.

Answer:

A. Cross - contamination
