the sweet chocolate drink.

Explanation:

The most suitable and sensible answer is C).

D) answer does not make sense as how would chocolate houses become popular as only the wealthy people could afford it? So D could not be the answer. B) is the repetition of the second fact that the Spanish began adding sugar to chocolate water but it also does not make sense why the people in Central America began adding sugar to chocolate water cause chocolate houses to become popular in Europe? A) seems to be right option but C) is a strong answer as it is based on the fact that people don't like regular chocolate as it is bitter in taste. By adding sugar to it it becomes more enjoyable.
