Answer:

A. food as vanitas

Explanation:

Vanitas refers to still-life painting of the 17th-century, Dutch genre which contained arts and representational symbols of death or change showing the transience and futility of life as a reminder of death's inevitability. Still life paintings in this period(more prominent in the Renaissance, when it became an independent genre) depicted skulls, candles, and other items such as hourglasses as symbols/allegories of mortality, also combining fruits(food as vanitas) and flowers of all seasons to depict nature’s cycle.
