The correct answer is letter "D": Imported marmalade was expensive.

Explanation:

Ian Mortimer's purpose with this book was to answer the most typical questions a regular traveler from the sixteenth century could have had. In this excerpt, he takes the case of the imported marmalade mentioning it could be bought ready-made in London but only the tables of the wealthy had access to it, meaning in other words that its price was not affordable for everyone. He reinforces the last idea in the next sentence by saying that most yeomen -land men- needed to store hard fruit through all the year so we can conclude there that the marmalade was considered expensive to them.
