D is wrong because of parallelism. it begins by saying "to cook" the next verb is serve and they omit the "to". This is fine, but the last verb has the "to". This is incorrect. Either all three verbs have to have "to" in front of them or only the first verb.

the OA is A. Thanks for the explanation.
