The answer is C: Reheated to at least $74^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\left(165^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\right)$ rapidly.

Explanation for each option: A) Warmed using heat lamps - This is incorrect because heat lamps do not provide sufficient heat to ensure that the chicken reaches a safe temperature to kill harmful bacteria. B) Reheated to at least $60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\left(140^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\right)$ rapidly - This is incorrect because $60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ (140°F) is not a high enough temperature to ensure the safety of reheated chicken. C) Reheated to at least $74^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\left(165^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\right)$ rapidly - This is correct because the recommended safe internal temperature for reheated chicken is $74^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ (165°F) to ensure that any harmful bacteria are killed. D) None of the above - This is incorrect because option C provides the correct reheating temperature.

Summary: To ensure the safety of reheated cooked chicken, it must be reheated to at least $74^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\left(165^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\right)$ rapidly.
