Explanation:

The text gives tips on building a healthy diet. The first tip is about filling half the plate with fruits and vegetables. A graphic feature related to this would likely show proportions of different food types (like fruits, vegetables, proteins, grains) to make a balanced meal. The other options are less relevant. The text doesn't focus on how easy meal - planning is (first option), just gives tips. It doesn't emphasize the importance of planning (second option) as much as the composition. And there's no mention of health benefits of mindful eating (fourth option).

Answer:

It shows the proportions of types of foods that make a balanced meal.
