Explanation:

To determine the evidence for the claim that food companies promoted breakfast's importance to sell products, we analyze each option:

• "Frozen foods, like waffles, make it faster and easier to prepare breakfast in the morning" only describes convenience, not promotion by companies to sell.
• "Cereal was first advertised as something to keep workers healthy and productive" shows a food company (cereal makers) advertising to promote their product (cereal) by linking it to breakfast's importance (keeping workers healthy/productive).
• "Eggs and bacon gained popularity as breakfast foods due to an ad campaign" shows an ad campaign (likely by food companies related to eggs/bacon) promoting them as breakfast foods, thus promoting breakfast's importance to sell products.

Answer:

B. Cereal was first advertised as something to keep workers healthy and productive.
C. Eggs and bacon gained popularity as breakfast foods due to an ad campaign.
