D) Elizabeth is correct.

Meat and poultry require colder storage (typically ≤41°F) than shell eggs (which the Food Code allows up to 45°F). Carlos’s general statement about produce being stored warmer than dairy is not uniformly true (dairy must be kept very cold, while produce storage temperatures vary).
