• A. Meal Plan
• B. Meeting Planner
• C. Marketing
• D. Mega-Event

Answer: (A)

Meal plan is the term used for a hotel rate that includes meals. In hospitality, different meal plan types describe exactly which meals are bundled with the room—from room-only (European Plan) to breakfast (Continental Plan), to breakfast plus one other meal (Modified American Plan) and all three daily meals (American Plan). The question asks for the general term for a rate that includes meals, so Meal Plan is the correct label. The other options relate to events or marketing, not to how lodging rates package meals with the room.
