The correct answer is B. Edna should add the benefits of improving school lunches for school administrators.

Explanation:

A persuasive speech is one type of speech that aims at convincing the audience to support an idea or take a specific action the speaker purposes. For a persuasive speech to be effective it needs to include multiple reasons, details, and evidence that explain and prove the main claim or argument purposed by the speaker, but besides this, it is necessary the speaker directly addresses the audience and the interests of it.

This implies in the case of Edna who had already included arguments based on the benefits for students she will need to include arguments and reasons that show the audience who are the school administrators they way they would benefit and in this way Edna would also guarantee her idea is approved. Therefore, the best way for Edna to make her speech more persuasive to her audience is "Edna should add the benefits of improving school lunches for school administrators".
