The three food items with 8 grams or more of protein are:

- 1 oz mozzarella (part skim)
- ½ cup quinoa
- ½ cup lentils

Other options:

- 1 oz soy nuts
- ½ cup spinach
- 1 oz cashews
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp peanut butter
- 4 ounces cottage cheese (1% fat)

Answer :

The problem asks us to determine which food item from the list has more than eight grams of protein per serving, corresponding to option B. Here is the step-by-step reasoning:

1. We start with a list of food items noted to provide at least eight grams of protein per serving. The full list is:
[tex]$$\text{1 oz mozzarella (part skim)}$$[/tex]
[tex]$$\text{1 oz soy nuts}$$[/tex]
[tex]$$\text{½ cup quinoa}$$[/tex]
[tex]$$\text{½ cup spinach}$$[/tex]
[tex]$$\text{½ cup lentils}$$[/tex]
[tex]$$\text{1 oz cashews}$$[/tex]
[tex]$$\text{1 egg}$$[/tex]
[tex]$$\text{1 Tbsp peanut butter}$$[/tex]
[tex]$$\text{4 ounces cottage cheese (1\% fat)}$$[/tex]

2. We then identify the food item corresponding to option B. Since the options are usually arranged in order (A, B, C, …), option B is the second item in the list.

3. The second food item in the list is:
[tex]$$\text{1 oz soy nuts}$$[/tex]

4. Therefore, the food item with more than eight grams of protein per serving corresponding to option B is:
[tex]$$\textbf{1 oz soy nuts}.$$[/tex]

5. When considering multiple-choice answers, if we assign numbers (A=1, B=2, and so on), option B corresponds to the number [tex]$2$[/tex].

Thus, the final answer is that the item is "1 oz soy nuts" (option B).
