What sanitary feature is required in a women's toilet room to support hygiene?

• A. Hand soap
• B. A mirror
• C. A sanitary napkin dispenser
• D. Covered receptacle for sanitary napkins

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that restrooms in food-service settings must contain features that keep waste contained and out of the way to prevent contamination. In a women’s restroom, a covered receptacle for used sanitary napkins directly addresses disposal hygiene: it keeps soiled materials enclosed, reducing odors, pest attraction, and the chance of handling or cross-contamination when people touch surfaces or wash hands. Hand soap is essential for hand hygiene, but it doesn’t control disposal of used products in the same way. A mirror or a sanitary napkin dispenser doesn’t provide the containment needed. So the covered receptacle for sanitary napkins is the element that most effectively supports hygiene in this context.
