Oliver has been assigned to write an argument about safe food-handling practices for his life skills class. He wants to learn whether it’s safer to cook chicken straight out of the package or to rinse it first. Which of the following resources should he use? Why?

A.
a post from a well-known food blogger; a lot of people trust her opinions about recipes and shortcuts in the kitchen
B.
a scientific study published in a consumer magazine; chicken was prepared in both ways and then tested for strains of bacteria
C.
a brief interview with his grandmother; she's the best cook Oliver knows, and nobody has ever gotten sick from her chicken parmesan
D.
the “Health and Safety” chapter from a cookbook published in 1982; popular recipes may come and go, but food safety standards never change
