a.Sneeze guards (food shields) positioned to protect the food, plus serving utensils
b.A cash register nearby
c.A tablecloth
d.A heat lamp only
Explanation
Self-service and display food must be protected by properly positioned sneeze guards (food shields) and provided with serving utensils so customers do not touch or breathe directly on the food. Staff must monitor the bar and replace utensils as needed. A heat lamp or tablecloth does not shield food from coughs, sneezes, or hands.
