Assuming you need to merge the prefixes with -tain, the correct answer is D. abs.
The verb to abstain means to restrain yourself from doing something, in this case, from eating junk food. Maintain means to continue something, fountain is a piece of architecture, and contain means to have something in something else. So only D makes sense.
