An evaluator argues that the primary remaining gap in U.S. food assistance is not funding but logistical issues (transport, delivery, culturally appropriate foods, and application complexity). Which evidence-based response best evaluates this claim?

• A. The critique is incorrect because logistics are trivial; funding is the only important issue and once funding increases, all logistical problems resolve themselves immediately without further intervention.
• B. This critique is supported by evidence: while funding matters, administrative barriers, inconsistent local distribution, lack of fresh/culturally appropriate options, and transportation limitations are documented constraints that prevent effective access even when funds exist.
• C. Neither funding nor logistics matter; food insecurity is entirely due to individual choice rather than systemic factors, so evaluating logistics is irrelevant.
• D. Application complexity is the sole barrier, but transportation, cultural relevance, and distribution logistics have no measurable impact on access to nutritious food according to all studies.
