Answer:

B. Have food allergies

Step-by-step explanation:

Allergies affect between 5% of adults and 8% of children, they occur when certain foods trigger an abnormal immune response, making the body launch defenses, including histamine, amongst others, which cause inflammation. Although there are a lot of things people are allergic to, there are 8 foods that usually produce them.

In this lunch menu there are at least 4 of those foods:

1) Cow's milk: it includes everything containing it, here the pizza has cheese.

2) Peanuts: in the peanut butter.

3) Wheat: allergy to one protein in wheat, in this menu the spaghetti contains it as well as the pizza dough.

4)Fish: this affects around 2% of adults.
