b. Potato with butter

Explanation:

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease, that is, the immune defense cells themselves attack the body's cells, causing an inflammatory process. In celiac disease, inflammation is caused by gluten, a protein in wheat, barley and rye. This inflammatory process, which in this case occurs in the internal wall of the small intestine, leads to the atrophy of the intestinal villi, leading to decreased absorption of nutrients.

People with this disease cannot eat foods that contain gluten, nor are they derived from wheat, rye and barley. For this reason, the only food among the options provided in the question that does not contain gluten and is not derived from the cereals mentioned above is "Potato with butter ".
