C
Explanation
This question is asking the appropriate location for large bins within a food service. Large bins are generally used for disposal of wastes and thus they are a source of contamination. The critical goal in the food service industry should be minimal cross-contamination and food safety. Having bins especially large ones in the kitchen, while it may be convenient, increases the risk of flies, insects and harmful bacteria from coming into contact with food prepared nearby. Hence, an ideal place to keep such bins would be outside, in specified refuse management areas which do not directly affect the hygiene of the kitchen or food preparation areas.
