C. JB 6 oz
D. JG 10 oz

Answer :

Final answer:

The abbreviation for 'Jack on the rocks' is 'JD' which typically represents Jack Daniel's whiskey; standard serving size for a spirit on the rocks is about 1.5 to 2 ounces, not matching any of the provided options.

Explanation:

The student's question pertains to a guest ordering 'Jack on the rocks', which refers to Jack Daniel's whiskey served over ice. When a customer orders Jack Daniel's whiskey on the rocks, the common abbreviation used is 'JD', followed by the typical serving size. In this context, the correct serving size for a drink such as Jack on the rocks would most often be about 1.5 to 2 ounces.

However, since this option is not available in the answer choices, we will select the option closest to the standard serving size. None of the provided options (8 oz, 12 oz, 6 oz, 10 oz) are accurately representing a traditional serving size for a spirit served 'on the rocks'. Serving sizes for spirits are significantly smaller due to their higher alcohol content compared to beer or wine.
