B). Every morning, Jessica debates whether to have cereal or eggs for breakfast.

Explanation:

As per the question, option B i. e. 'Every morning, Jessica debates whether to have cereal or eggs for breakfast' exemplifies the sentence that most appropriately employs the word 'debates' in it. The word 'debate' (in verb form) implies 'to consider or to think over' which appropriately goes with the context of the sentence. Thus, the final sentence means 'Every morning, Jessica debates (thinks over to decide) and choose between the cereal and eggs for breakfast.' Options A and C are completely wrong as they employ the word 'debates' irrelevantly while 'option B' employs the incorrect form of the noun 'debate' which is an uncountable as 'debates.' Thus, option B is the correct answer.
