Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The chapati becomes moist and soft, making chewing and swallowing easier, while dal adds nutrients

It also contributes protein, energy and other nutrients, making the meal more useful nutritionally. This is appropriate in a soft diet when the patient has difficulty with dry or hard foods. Options B, C and D contradict these effects, so A is correct.
