Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Hands-on group activities provide an opportunity for observational learning where participants can observe, learn and model behaviors from each other. Building a healthy meal based on MyPlate allows participants to observe how others build their plates and can make adjustments based on what they learn from others. The other options do not provide an opportunity for observational learning.
