Question

at what temperature can the germ squad not survive?

• 100° (37°c)
• 0° (-17°c)
• 500° (260°c)
• 165° (74°c)

Explanation:

To determine the temperature at which the Germ Squad (microorganisms) cannot survive, we analyze typical microbial survival limits. Most microbes, including pathogens, struggle at very high temperatures. 500°F (260°C) is extremely high and far beyond the survival range of most microbes, while the other temperatures (100°F/37°C is body temp, 0°F/-17°C is cold but some microbes can survive cold, 165°F/74°C is high but 500°F is more extreme).

Answer:

C. 500° (260°C)
