The correct answer is: [C]: "sirve" .
________________________________________________________
Note: The subject is "mamá" ; which takes the "third person, singular"
subject pronoun. Note that: "sirve" ; is the "simple present tense" conjugation for the Spanish verb, "servir" — meaning "to serve" for this particular subject pronoun—which takes the "irregular form" (for this tense and for this particular subject pronoun.
________________________________________________________

→ " Para mi cumpleaños, mamá siempre me sirve mi comida favorita, arroz con pollo. "

→ which translates to:
_________________________________________________________
→ "For my birthday, mom always serves me my favorite meal [or, 'food'], rice with chicken" .

Consider the other answer choices:
________________________________________________________
Choice: [A]: "sirvo" ; is incorrect. This is the conjugation for the
first person, singular, simple present tense, of the Spanish verb, "servir" —
meaning "to serve"— which takes an irregular form for this particular verb tense associated for this particular subject pronoun, "yo" (Spanish word/pronoun for "I" ; and this conjugation means: "I serve" — "[Yo] sirvo" ; which does not correspond with the subject provided—"mamá" ; and as such, is INCORRECT.
____________________________________________________
Choice: [B]: "servir" ; is incorrect. This Spanish verb means: "to serve".

This Spanish verb is provided in the "infinitive form" ; so it is INCORRECT; since the Spanish verb: "servir" ; is not conjugated; and does not correspond with the subject provided—"mamá" .
____________________________________________________
Choice: [D]: "sirves" ; is incorrect. This is the conjugation for the second person, singular, simple present tense, of the Spanish verb, "servir" —
meaning "to serve"— which takes an irregular form for this particular verb tense associated for this particular subject pronoun, "tú" (Spanish word/pronoun for "you"; singular, informal format; meaning: "You serve" — "[Tú] sirves" ; refers to what "you" do— in this case: "you serve" / when referring to one person; and in the familiar/informal sense; e.g. a close friend or child; and this answer choice—"sirves" — does not correspond with the subject provided—"mamá" ; and as such, is INCORRECT.
