Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. She picks one thali from the veg list OR one from the non-veg list, never both.

  2. For 'either … or' choices, add: 5+3=85 + 3 = 8.

Worth noting

15 multiplies 5×35 \times 3, which would count a veg thali AND a non-veg thali together. She orders only one.
