Answer: Chill it.

Explanation: Because if it is 80 degrees out you're obviously not chilling it, it's probably cooking in that heat. I don't think this ties in with cleanliness because you clean it before you cook it and you aren't cooking it at the moment, therefore A and C are out. I don't know what it means by separate. If it means to separate the meat from other foods then you are also neglecting that but if it just means to separate the individual slices then that isn't applicable because you aren't cooking it yet.
