More standardized>>Discard less
Less standardized>>Discard more
More standardized>>Large amount of fresh produce
Less standardized>>Less amount of fresh produce
Which of the following can be properly inferred from the passage?
(A) An increasing number of households rely on a highly standardized diet.
Can't infer about the number of houses using any type of diet
(B) The less standardized a household’s diet is, the more nonfood waste the household discards.
Can't infer about nonfood diet
(C) The less standardized a household’s diet is, the smaller is the proportion of fresh produce in the household’s food waste.
More standardized>>Large amount of fresh produce
Less standardized>>Less amount of fresh produce
(D) The less standardized a household’s diet is, the more canned and prepackaged foods the household discards as waste.
If its diet is less standardized, then there will be less canned & prepackaged foods then how can the discards be more.
(E) The more fresh produce a household buys, the more fresh produce it throws away.
No relation of buying & throwing

HI experts ,
I also chose C but I still have a small query. Option C talks about PROPORTION of fresh produce whereas argument is about ACTUAL QUANTITY . Even though people with low Std.diet waste smaller proportion , actual waste Qty by this people may be higher than that of the people with high std diet .
Based on above understanding, inferring C may become difficult.
Pl clarify.

For Conditional Reasoning we need to identify what the sufficient condition is and what the necessary condition is. A sufficient condition does not make the necessary condition occur. It is just a sign or indicator that the necessary condition will occur, is occurring, or has already occurred.
So here we are given two statements lets review it one by one.
Condition One: A group of modern urban anthropologists has found that a household discards less food the more standardized- made up of canned and prepackaged foods-its diet is.
Here less food discarded just indicates more standardized diet the household is having so the necessary condition here is Standardized diet without which the sufficient condition cannot occur.
So two inferences can be made
1) Less Food Discard --> More Standardized diet (As already given)
2) Less Standardized Diet --> More Food Discard (Contrapositive statement)
Condition Two: The more standardized a household’s diet is, however, the greater the quantities of fresh produce the household throws away.
Similarly, more Fresh Produce getting thrown away indicates more Standardized the diet is. So accordingly two inferences can be made
3) More Fresh Produce as Discard --> More Standardized diet
4) Less standardized Diet --> Less Fresh Produce as Discard.
So as per the inference 4, option C is the correct one. Hope this helps you
