The answer is letter b, it is because meat with higher cooking temperature should be at the bottom and the lower cooking temperature meat must be above them. It is because the higher cooking temperature meat are the ones who has exhibits more bacteria compared of the other foods, that's why it must be at the bottom to prevent cross contaminated.
