A Correct answer
Explanation

After the verb 'want,' English requires the infinitive form 'to eat' rather than the gerund. 'Quickly and cheaply' are adverbs correctly modifying 'eat.' The infinitive of purpose explains why working people choose fast food restaurants. Options B and C incorrectly use the gerund and base verb forms, while D is grammatically incorrect.
