Solution By Steps

Step 1: Identify Safe Hot-Holding Temperature

According to food safety guidelines, hot foods should be held at a temperature of 135°F (57°C) or above to prevent bacterial growth.

Step 2: Compare Options with Safe Temperature

The only temperature option above 135°F is

137^{\circ}F (58°C).
