Which passage from the Article best supports the idea that not everyone is happy with the plan to offer coffee drinks to high school students?

A. Somewhere in the U.S., a teenager is running on empty. She's slouching over Cheerios. She's dreading an upcoming math test. She's sooooo sleepy! Now, there's a new push to save students from sleepiness. And the plan includes espressos and lattes.

B. It's true that coffee has made its way into some schools. But schools still have to follow nutrition rules. That way, coffee drinks at school are much healthier than the ones students would get elsewhere. Those are often filled with lots of sugar. Not to mention tons of calories.

C. The American Academy of Pediatrics' opinion? Teens shouldn't reach for that cup! Caffeine could harm developing bodies. And it can lead to headaches, agitation, and lack of sleep. No fun!

D. Why is coffee being sold to students? Dairy companies started losing business to makers of soy, almond, and oat drinks. So milk-makers are looking to bring in moo-re money. The plan is to up the amount of milk teens drink. And milk is used in many coffee drinks.
