5

Which best explains why metal cooking utensils often have plastic coating on their handles?

A
Plastic melts less easily and lasts longer than metal.
B
Plastic reduces the transfer of thermal energy to hands holding the utensils.
C
Plastic molds more easily into shapes like long, thin handles.
D
Plastic increases the rate of conduction from the utensil to the food.
