(Plz answer asap) Read the excerpt from "Fish Cheeks."

On Christmas Eve I saw that my mother had outdone herself in creating a strange menu. She was pulling black veins out of the backs of fleshy prawns. The kitchen was littered with appalling mounds of raw food: A slimy rock cod with bulging fish eyes that pleaded not to be thrown into a pan of hot oil. Tofu, which looked like stacked wedges of rubbery white sponges. A bowl soaking dried fungus back to life. A plate of squid, their backs crisscrossed with knife markings so they resembled bicycle tires.

What is the effect of the imagery in this passage?
- A) It makes the food seem like something that should not be eaten.
- B) It shows how hard the mother works to please her family.
- C) It gives important information about Chinese culture.
- D) It shows how complicated it is to cook Chinese meals.
