Solution
The correct option is A com + panis
"Company" is derived from the Latin word 'com', meaning 'together', and 'panis', meaning 'bread'. In the past, merchants arranged their business meetings over festive gatherings; a business discussion also meant something like a treat having the bread together, to earn the bread.
