To determine the correct answer, let's break down the given information and look at the options provided.

The conversation suggests that the speaker and others had a good time at the New Year's Eve party. They mention that they ate a lot, thanks to Pablo's mother. So, we need to identify the verb that correctly completes the sentence.

Looking at the options:

a. "sirve" is the present tense form of the verb "servir," which means "to serve." This option does not match the tense of the sentence, as the conversation is talking about what Pablo's mother did in the past.

b. "saludo" is a noun that means "greeting" or "salutation." It is not a verb, so it cannot fit in the sentence as the missing verb.

c. "beso" is a noun that means "kiss." Like option b, it does not function as the missing verb in the sentence.

d. "sirvio" is the preterite form of the verb "servir," which also means "to serve." Based on the context given, this is the correct verb form to complete the sentence, as it is in past tense and agrees with the action Pablo's mother did by serving them a lot of food.

Therefore, the correct answer is option d. "sirvio."

To find the correct answer, it helps to have an understanding of verb tenses and their usage in different contexts. Knowing the meaning of the word and how it fits grammatically within a sentence can often be crucial in choosing the correct option.
