Correct answer choice is:

D. 1/2 cup cooked broccoli

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular serve is around 75g or: half cup cooked green or orange vegetables (for instance, broccoli, spinach, carrots or pumpkin) half cup prepared freeze-dried or preserved beans, peas or lentils (optionally beside no combined savor) 1 cup fresh leafy or fresh salad herbs.

The answer to your question is D. One serving is generally quite small. When you think about it, 1 1/2 cups of cooked carrots is a lot of carrots, this would be approx 3 servings. Generally 1/2 a cup of most fruits and vegetables is equivalent to one serving. Just remember that vegetables have a lot of volume, so 1/2 cup is really not a lot, making it only one serving.
