Explanation:

Question 1

The "My Plate" graphic is a nutrition guide that shows the recommended proportions of different food groups (fruits, grains, vegetables, protein) and dairy. Option A matches its purpose of informing about proper food group amounts. Option B is wrong as it's not about meal preparation. Option C is wrong (it doesn't persuade to only eat fruits/veggies). Option D is wrong (it's not for entertainment).

Looking at the "My Plate" graphic (as per the image), the category to the side of the plate is Dairy. Fruits, Grains, and Protein are on the plate itself.

Vegetables are known to be rich in nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. Fruits also have nutrients but the question's nutrient profile (and common knowledge) aligns more with vegetables. Grains are more for carbs, protein for protein - rich nutrients.

Answer:

A. To inform people of the proper amounts of each food groups they should eat.
