The correct option is A.

Food aversion refers to an alteration in food behavior as a result of negative occurrence that affect the victim psychologically. An individual showing food aversion may exhibit psychological food intolerance, which involves showing adverse physical reactions when it comes to eating a particular food or avoiding the food completely.

In the question given above, the young child shows aversion for banana as a result of his negative experience the last time he ate banana before spinning on a carousel.
