Solution
The correct option is A Affordability
Food security exists when all people have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life.
Availability, accessibility, and affordability are the three factors that ensure food security. Although there is food available and accessible, Mitty and her family cannot afford it. Thus, the affordability dimension is missing.
