Answer:

The correct answer is A. The rarity and cost in obtaining fresh lobster makes it a delicious delicacy.

Step-by-step explanation:

A delicacy is food that is considered to be particularly pleasant in taste and is usually surrounded with some exclusivity. Delicacies are strongly tied to a culture.

Many delicacies are not so much appreciated for their taste, but for their exclusivity. Well-known examples are shark fin soup, turtle soup and caviar. Some fungi are also appreciated, both the fruiting bodies (mushrooms and truffles) and the fungal threads that are grown in different types of cheese. Examples are Camembert, blue cheese and brie. An extreme example of a delicacy is Casu marzu, a cheese matured by fly maggots.

More delicacies - available and appreciated for a larger audience - are lobster and crab meat, oysters and snails.
