B, C
Explanation
The question is about food safety and manipulation post-freezing and thawing. the safety of refreezing depends on how it was thawed in the first place. If it was thawed in refrigerator at a safer,lower temperature, it can be refrozen. However, the texture may not be the same as it breaks down the cell structure of the food. But, It should never be refrozen if the thawing has happened at room temperature reducing its thermal state till the bacteria growing mark( separate guidelines for different kinds of food by USDA). Consequently, thawed food may contain bacteria regardlessly.
