Solution

The correct answer is "d. A chicken leg, one slice of bread with butter, and steamed carrots". This is because this meal option contains the least amount of sodium. Chinese take-out, grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup, and slices of ham and cheese on whole grain crackers are all high in sodium. Sodium is often used in processed foods (like ham and cheese, and canned soup) and in restaurant meals (like Chinese take-out) to enhance flavor. On the other hand, a chicken leg, a slice of bread with butter, and steamed carrots are all relatively low in sodium, especially if no additional salt is added during their preparation.
