The correct answer is option B: The Korean ancestral worshiping tray is usually divided into 5 rows, arranged under the ancestral tablet, in order from top to bottom, first are rice dishes, tteokguk soup, then meat dishes, fish, various fried cakes, soups, banchan, and finally desserts, usually fruits and traditional kwaja cakes. In each locality, the dishes may be different, but they all follow the general rules when displaying the ancestral worshiping tray. It is worth noting that although Korean dishes often use a lot of garlic and chili powder to prepare, on the ancestral worshiping tray, they avoid dishes with strong odors such as garlic, pepper, and red chili powder. Therefore, the cabbage kimchi that often appears on the family meal tray is not displayed on the offering tray, but instead is liquid kimchi, some localities replace it with white kimchi. The fruits displayed on the offering tray are usually pears and apples. Koreans believe that peaches can ward off spirits, so they do not place peaches on the ancestral altar.
