D Correct answer
Explanation

The World Health Organization states that cooking poultry to 70°C (158°F) ensures that the avian influenza virus is completely destroyed. At 100°C (boiling point of water), the virus is definitely eliminated. Lower temperatures like 60°C or 70°C may not be sufficient to guarantee complete inactivation of the virus in all parts of the food.
