Solution

The correct option is A fish
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, Brahmanas relaxed rules of vegetarianism in Bengal as fish was a popular food item in the riverine region. Brihaddharma Purana permitted local Brahmanas to eat certain varieties of fish.
