Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option D: D) 5 minutes.
Washing hands for a minimum of 20 seconds is crucial for effectively removing transient microorganisms and preventing the spread of infections, aligning with public health recommendations for hand hygiene. Longer durations, like 30 or 40 seconds, may offer slightly better results, but 5 minutes is excessive for routine handwashing.
