    • Chocolate

    Correct Answer
    A. Bread
    Explanation

This is because during Passover, Jews commemorate the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, where they did not have time to let their bread rise before leaving. As a result, they ate unleavened bread, known as matzah, during their journey. To honor this historical event, Jews refrain from eating any leavened bread or products containing leavening agents during Passover. Therefore, bread is not allowed to be consumed during this holiday.
