# Brief Explanations:
To determine the correct practice for removing gloves, we analyze each option:
- Option A: When removing gloves, you can touch the outside of the other glove (e.g., to peel one glove off by grasping the outside of the other), so this is incorrect.
- Option B: Used gloves (especially in healthcare settings with potential contaminants) should be disposed of in bio - hazard (red) bags. This is a standard infection control practice.
- Option C: Used gloves are considered contaminated and should not be disinfected and put in regular trash. They need bio - hazard disposal.
- Option D: The correct technique for removing gloves involves touching glove - to - glove (to remove the first glove) and skin - to - skin (when removing the second glove from the inside, to avoid touching the contaminated outside). But this option is about the technique, while option B is about proper disposal. However, re - evaluating: The key for glove removal practice - the important practice for removal (the process) is option D. Wait, no - let's re - check. The process of removing gloves: You grasp the outside of one glove (glove - to - glove) to pull it off, then use the bare hand (skin - to - skin) to pull the inside of the other glove. So the correct practice during removal is D. But earlier analysis of B: B is about disposal after removal. The question is "when removing gloves" - the action of removal. So let's re - assess each option in the context of the removal process:
- A: You do touch a gloved hand to the outside of the other glove (to start removing the first glove), so A is wrong.
- B: Disposal is after removal, not during the act of removing.
- C: Disinfecting before regular trash is wrong, as they are bio - hazard.
- D: The correct technique for removing gloves is to touch glove - to - glove (when removing the first glove, grasp the outside of one glove with the other gloved hand) and skin - to - skin (when removing the second glove, use the bare hand to grasp the inside of the glove). So this is the important practice during removal.

Wait, maybe I made a mistake earlier. Let's refer to standard glove removal procedure: To remove gloves, 1. Pinch the outside of one glove at the wrist (glove - to - glove contact) and pull it off, turning it inside out as you remove it, holding it in your other gloved hand. 2. Then, with your bare hand (skin - to - skin contact), insert your fingers inside the cuff of the remaining glove and pull it off, also turning it inside out, so that the first glove is inside the second. Then dispose of them in a bio - hazard bag. So during the removal process, the important practice is D (only touch glove - to - glove and skin - to - skin) to prevent contamination of the hands. B is about disposal after removal. So the correct answer is D? But wait, some sources say that used gloves should be disposed of in bio - hazard bags (red bags), which is B. But the question is "when removing gloves" - the action of taking them off. So the process of removal: the important practice during removal is D. But let's check the options again.

Wait, the options:

A: Never touch a gloved hand to the outside of the other glove - wrong, because you do touch the outside to remove the first glove.

B: Used gloves must be thrown away into a red bio - hazard bag - this is about disposal after removal, not the act of removing.

C: Used gloves must be disinfected before regular trash - wrong, as they are bio - hazard waste.

D: Only touch glove - to - glove and skin - to - skin - this is the correct technique during the removal process to avoid contaminating the hands. So D is the correct practice when removing gloves.

# Answer:
D. Only touch glove - to - glove and skin - to - skin
