B
Though school food is funded by state and county governments, the menu is determined by school cafeteria staff.
C
Salads and meatless pasta dishes add variety to school menus and provide vegetarians with possible choices.
D
Vegetarians rely on beans, nuts, and Greek yogurt as alternate sources of protein in their diets.

Explanation

Choice A provides survey results showing that 23 percent of students consider themselves vegetarians. That evidence supports the reason that a significant number of students are vegetarians, which in turn helps justify offering more meatless main dishes. The other choices give information about cafeteria decisions, menu variety, or protein sources, but do not show how many vegetarians attend the school.
