Which word best represents the form of the dish as listed?

• A. Onigri
• B. Nigiri
• C. Donburi
• D. Maki

Answer: (A)

Think about the shape and handling of the dish. Onigiri refers to a compact rice ball, usually shaped by hand into a simple triangle or lump that you can grab and eat. That form best matches a dish listed as a basic rice-ball type. The other terms describe different presentations: nigiri is small rice sushi with a topping, donburi is a large bowl of rice with toppings, and maki is a rolled sushi cut into pieces. So the term for the form described is onigiri. (Onigri is a common misspelling, but the correct form name is onigiri.)
