Corn and apple sauce do not contain all the essential amino acids required for a complete protein. The other options contain a combination of different plant-based protein sources that together provide all the essential amino acids. A vegetarian can also get complete protein from dairy, eggs, and soy-based products. Of the given options, the best choice would be A (wild rice, beans, and corn) as it provides a variety of plant-based proteins.
