Which idea is supported by the passage?
The Ark of Taste

The Ark of Taste is an online catalog of foods that are at risk of extinction. Slow Food, an international organization that promotes eating healthy local foods, oversees the Ark of Taste project. Ordinary people from all over the world can nominate foods for the Ark of Taste. Food nominations must meet a certain set of criteria before being accepted into the catalog. To be included in the Ark of Taste, the food products must (1) be sustainably produced, (2) have a distinctive taste based on local food customs, (3) be linked to a certain area and to local traditions, (4) be produced in limited quantities, and (5) be at risk of extinction. Once the committee researchers have verified the nomination, they submit it to the International Ark Commission. If the commission approves the nomination, then a description of the food item is entered into the online catalog.
Once an item has been accepted into the Ark of Taste, organizations may implement initiatives to save the item from extinction. For example, a specific breed of chicken in Kenya called the Mushunu chicken was very scarce. The Mushunu chicken is part of the culture in that area. The chicken has a distinctive flavor and is eaten during celebrations in the Molo region of Kenya. Slow Food started a program to protect the Mushunu chicken. The program provided tools and training to conserve the chicken. Slow Food has launched projects to save over 400 of the Ark of Taste food items. The Ark of Taste currently lists over 1,000 items.

A. Single ingredients for a food recipe may not be admitted into the online catalog.
B. The Ark of Taste is an exclusive food catalog, which is based on thorough research.
C. The Mushunu chicken of Kenya is destined to become extinct despite conservation efforts.
D. The Ark of Taste encourages people to try foods from various parts of the world.
