Answer 1

B. plated

Step-by-step explanation:

Plated style of serving food means guests remain seated for the duration of the meal, while staff serves the portions. They most likely are given menus with options of food they can choose. The meals listed in the menu are pre-set, with the decided way of serving and amount of food.
