Read the following passage: i try to select nutritious food choices in the school cafeteria to me do well in school, but sometimes the french fries and chocolate fudge cake just look so delicious. based on the clues, what is the most likely definition of the word nutritious? boring bland healthy yummy

The correct answer is:  [C]:  "healthy".

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" .
