C Correct answer
Explanation

Finicky means very particular about details, fussy. The sentence connects children who don't eat vegetables to being picky about food - 'fussy' is the perfect match. 'Wary' means cautious, 'craving' means desiring strongly, and 'unhappy' is too general - none capture the selective eating behavior.
