Solution

The correct option is D When everyone can afford to buy food
When people do not have to worry about being hungry, there is food security. Food security includes three dimensions: availability, accessibility, and affordability. Availability is when enough food is available for the people. Accessibility is when there is no barrier to access to food. Affordability is when everyone has the capacity to buy food. These are also referred to as the pillars of food security.
