___________________________________________________
Explanation:
___________________________________________________
Note:  The word "but" —which is a coordinating conjunction—functions as "transition word " (in the sentence provided in this very question.).
___________________________________________________
Note the following text (within the sentence provided in this very question):

 "I try to select 'nutritious food choices'.... but sometimes the "[French fries and chocolate fudge cake]" just look so 'delicious' .
___________________________________________________
Note that the word "delicious" is used to describe the "French fries and cakes".  
___________________________________________________
{ This is similar to Choice:  [D]:  "yummy", so we can eliminate "Choice: [D]" .} .
___________________________________________________
Choices:  [A] & [B] do not make much sense.  It would be rare for someone to try to select "boring" food choices or "bland" food choices.  
(Exception:  If someone could not tolerate "hot or spicy foods", then "bland" would make sense.}.  

Furthermore, the words — "boring" and "bland"—are not synonymous with the word — "nutritious" .

Also, note the following text within the sentence given:
_________________________________________________ 
"I try to select nutritious food choices in the school cafeteria to help me do well in school ..." 
_________________________________________________
Taking these factors into consideration, along with the answer choices given, 
  
          →  The correct answer is:  [C]:  "healthy" .
