Consider the school's pepperoni pizza. I am one who rarely turns down pizza, especially if it has pepperoni on it, but the pizza that our school serves is just too greasy. I even put paper napkins over the pizza in order to soak up the grease. Nevertheless, I always have a stomachache in the afternoon on pizza day.

Explanation:

In the argument, the speaker focuses on explaining how the school offers only one option and this has negative effects, including students skipping lunch; this idea is exemplified by pizza as the author explains pizza is too greasy and many students skip lunch when pizza is offered at lunch. Moreover, at the end of the paragraph, the author states "If we had more meal options at lunch, we could choose foods that left us feeling better", which shows the main position of the author or thesis statement is the need for more options at lunch (sentence D).
