The correct answer is a) having sobremesa. "Sobremesa" literally means "above table," but it signifies the period of time after eating a meal in which everyone remains seated at the table and converses. Sobremesa can last for hours. It's culturally important to the Spanish-speaking world, where there is a strong emphasis on family relations. Sobremesa contrasts the culture present within the United States, in which we often eat our meals as quickly as possible, sometimes even on the go, and then clean up immediately after.
