Answer 1

D: "Bagel with Peanut Butter". That is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Of the given options, bagel with peanut butter is the healthiest option for June.  

The peanut butter is dense in calories, and one will feel fuller for a long duration if one consumes half a whole wheat bagel with peanut butter, in comparison to the same amount of calories of a plain white bagel. The fiber and protein in peanut butter stick to the ribs and is not fattening unless one is consuming too many calories in a day.  

The half of a 4-ounce whole wheat bagel comprises 138 calories, and one tablespoon of peanut butter on it makes a total of 233 calories.
