B; This response acknowledges the child's request while guiding on suitable alternatives based on dietary considerations, particularly for someone with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Starchy vegetables like corn can affect blood sugar levels differently than non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, so it's important to provide appropriate substitutes that won't significantly impact the child's condition.
