Question analysis: "Discrepancy" (therfore paradox)
S1 : High nutrition meal introduced - increase overall health and reduce obesity - greater variety and lower calorie content
S2 : Despite demand & implementation, Still, No noticeable decrease obesity rates
Why so ?
A. Schools were adhering to nutritional standards before. (Ok, so what) No impact, doesnt resolve : REJECT
B. Parents were giving additional snacks that are not regulated by standards: Explains paradox: HOLD
C. Straight away reject, no relevance to language : REJECT
D. Ok, you can object, I dont care, especially since argument says there has been robust demand
E. interesting, HOLD ; Note: Even if children avoid the lower-calorie options (considered healthy in the context of obesity), it doesn't mean the other options are unhealthy. The rest of the food may still be healthy, just not the ones they are choosing.
Between B. and E. --> B directly explains the paradox
So, I would go for B

IMO, the answer is Option B
This is a resolve paradox and we need to explain why despite the higher nutrition standards, obesity rates has not decreased among school aged children.
Option A
Before the new regulations were implemented, most school meals met the nutritional guidelines that were in place at that time - Incorrect. This option does not specify the reason as to why obesity has not decreased.
Option B
Parents and guardians often provide children with additional snacks and meals that are not regulated by the school nutrition standards. - Correct.
Since parents and guardians are providing children with additional meals which are not regulated by the nutrition standards, there is no decrease in obesity.
Option C
The new regulations mandate that all school cafeterias implement menus in multiple languages. - Incorrect, out of scope
Option D
Many schools have objected to the introduction of new regulations - Incorrect, out of scope
Option E
The increase in food variety makes it harder for students to consistently choose healthier options - Even if the children have variety of options, all the varieties are healthy as per the question stem, and hence does not provide a reason why obesity has not decreased.
B is the best option.

Answer is B.
(A) Before the new regulations were implemented, most school meals met the nutritional guidelines that were in place at that time. Incorrect because this would not explain why obesity rates have not changed now with higher standards.
(B) Parents and guardians often provide children with additional snacks and meals that are not regulated by the school nutrition standards. Correct because provides external reason behind discrepancy with obesity rates remaining unchanged.
(C) The new regulations mandate that all school cafeterias implement menus in multiple languages. Incorrect because irrelevant to lowering obesity.
(D) Many schools have objected to the introduction of new regulations. Incorrect because passage states that these changes have been implemented and there is a robust demand for school meals.
(E) The increase in food variety makes it harder for students to consistently choose healthier options. Incorrect because passage states that the increase in food variety also led to more options with lower calorie content.
