PLZ HELP!

Choose the thesis statement that would be best supported by this topic sentence. Topic sentence: The most common items on school menus contain heavy loads of meat, bread, and pasta.

A. American students are fortunate to have lunches provided for them at school.

B. Schools should offer vending machines in the cafeteria to raise money for much-needed classroom supplies.

C. School cafeterias across America should offer students more vegetable-based and low-carbohydrate options.

D. Organic meat and bread products are more expensive than conventional foods, but they don't provide additional nutrition.​

I would answer with C. because it is stating that students should have a more low-carb high-vegetable base meal plan in school lunches. This fits the negative tone of the sentence and agrees with it, so this would be the answer.

A. could technically be correct, but it does not flow with the tone of the sentence, as it has a negative connotation

B. Doesn’t have anything to do with the topic sentence, obviously elimination.

D. also doesn’t have anything to do with the topic sentence. Wrong because there is nothing mentioned about meat or organic foods.
