At a restaurant where all entrees and sides are priced based on the cost of production, Ari can order a smaller portion and only pay for what she eats. With option A, she would pay for more food than she can eat. Option B would not be beneficial to Ari as she is not able to eat much, so the cost would still be high. Option D is irrelevant as Ari may not want a dessert and should not have to order it just to receive a discount on her meal.
