Why the answer is A, and why the others tempt you.
According to Islamic jurisprudence based on the hadith of the man who broke his fast, the kaffarah for deliberately breaking the Ramadan fast must be performed in order: first, freeing a slave; if unable, fasting sixty consecutive days; if unable, feeding sixty poor people. This sequential order is important and cannot be changed arbitrarily. Option D contains incorrect numbers.
