• A. Ranch; Allergies: Dairy
• B. Balsamic vinaigrette; Allergies: Tree Nut
• C. Sherry mustard vinaigrette; Allergies: Dairy, Tree Nut, Gluten
• D. Caesar dressing; Allergies: Dairy, Gluten

Answer: (C)

Focus on what the House Salad is paired with and what ingredients in that pairing can trigger common allergies. The dressing described for the House Salad is a sherry mustard vinaigrette. The listed allergens—dairy, tree nut, and gluten—make sense because, in this restaurant’s setup, the salad can include cheese or dairy in the dressing, a garnish or oil that could involve tree nuts, and croutons or a dressing component that contains gluten or has gluten in cross-contact. Together, this dressing and these potential components explain why those three allergens appear for the dish. Other dressings would not typically align with both the specified dressing and the full set of Allergens shown here.
