The correct answer is **F. b, c and d**.
- **b. In all PECS (Primary Engineering Controls)**: Air and surface samples are required in areas where sterile compounding occurs to ensure the environment is sterile and meets safety standards.
- **c. In all Classified Rooms**: Classified rooms, which are those meeting certain cleanliness and contamination control standards (like ISO classifications), also require air and surface sampling as part of the monitoring process.
- **d. Air at the end of a compounding activity or shift but before cleaning and disinfection**: Taking air samples at the end of compounding helps to assess the contamination level before cleaning takes place.
In summary, air and surface samples are indeed required in all PECS, all classified rooms, and air sampling is also required at specific times during the compounding process.
