Correct: A — there are arguments for and against wearing gloves when handling inoculated plates, and the evidence is not unequivocal; gloves protect the hands but can themselves spread contamination if not changed. Option B is wrong because the stated reason is inverted: gloves are worn in specimen reception precisely because the outside of containers may be contaminated, but the option frames it as a concern about contaminating the container; option C is wrong because alcohol rub after glove removal is acceptable when hands are not visibly soiled; option D is wrong because vinyl gloves are less durable than latex.
