B. It will likely be denied, because students may suffer mental and physical harm.
C. It will likely be approved, because there is no other way to test this hypothesis.
D. It will likely be denied, because subjects are deceived without receiving a debriefing.

There are other ways to test on importance of nutrition on exam performance like what tyoe of food is consumed prior to the exam. However withholding food can be done through intermittent fasting and it must be optional for the volunteers rather than limit food consumption all together.
