Question 5 of 5

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Buttocks. The rationale is that washing the buttocks last prevents the spread of germs from this area to other parts of the body. It follows a logical sequence of cleanliness, starting from cleaner areas like the face and progressing to dirtier areas like the buttocks. Washing the hands earlier is crucial to avoid transferring germs to other body parts. Washing the legs before the buttocks may still spread germs from the dirtiest part (buttocks) to the legs. Washing the face last may lead to transferring germs from the buttocks to the face, which is undesirable.
