The question that is a statistical question is option B: How many students in a middle school class like each type of food? A statistical question is a question that can be answered by collecting and analyzing data. Option B is asking for data on the number of students who like different types of food, which can be collected and analyzed to provide an answer.

Options A, C, and D are not statistical questions. Option A asks for a list of students who can speak another language, which is not a question that requires data analysis. Option C asks for a specific piece of information (which classes the principal is visiting), but it does not involve collecting and analyzing data. Option D asks for a single number (the number of students in a middle school), which does not involve data analysis either.
