Explanation:

First Question: What is a common barrier to eating healthy?

• Option a: Limited time to prepare meals is a common barrier as people with busy schedules may opt for quick, less - healthy options.
• Option b: Having too many options is not a typical barrier; more options can sometimes facilitate healthy eating.
• Option c: Lack of grocery stores is less common as most areas have access to grocery stores or alternative food sources.
• Option d: Lack of appetite is not a common barrier to eating healthy; appetite issues are more related to medical or other specific conditions rather than a general barrier to healthy eating.

The plate method (such as the USDA MyPlate) recommends that half (50%) of your plate should be filled with fruits and non - starchy vegetables. Among the options, 50% is the correct percentage for non - starchy vegetables.
