Solution
The correct option is B Brihaddharma Purana
Locally available food items influenced the food habits of people. Religion, imported items and personal preferences played a secondary role in food choices of people. For example, Brahmanical authorities relaxed rules of vegetarianism in Bengal as fish was a popular food item in the riverine region. Brihaddharma Purana, a 13th century Sanskrit text, permitted local Brahmanas to eat certain varieties of fish.
