B Correct answer
Explanation

Option (2) is grammatically the most correct option. (1) is incorrect because the subject (Balanced dietary habits) is plural and hence, will take a plural verb. Option (3) is incorrect because there is no article to point out the noun (person). (4) and (5) are incorrect as there is no requirement of a future helping verb (‘would’ & ‘will’)
