This choice correctly uses the conjunction "because" to show a cause-and-effect relationship between the unavailability of ingredients and the command to buy anything interesting. It also uses a comma to set off the dependent clause at the beginning of the sentence. Option C uses the subordinating conjunction "because" to show the cause and effect relationship between the unavailability of the right ingredients and the instruction given to the cook. The sentence is also correctly punctuated with a comma after the dependent clause.
