I had been asked this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

This interesting question is from Regulations topic in section Regulations of Dairy Engineering

Answer 1

The correct choice is (d) 5

To explain I would say: In general, equipment should be rinsed with lukewarm 100 to 180°F water immediately after milking to prevent drying of milk solids on surfaces. The utensils should be under the flow of water for at least 5 minutes.
