A Correct answer
Explanation

High-risk foods are typically moist and rich in protein, making them ideal breeding grounds for harmful bacteria if not handled or cooked properly. Meat, fish, and poultry fall directly into this category and must be cooked thoroughly to ensure safety. Foods like bread, apples, and potatoes are much lower risk and do not support rapid bacterial growth in the same way.
