정답: B. 굽다

How to solve: The stem asks for the word most closely related to 'cooking meat over fire'. Among the options, '굽다' specifically means to grill or roast, which perfectly describes the process of BBQ.

B — '굽다' means to grill or roast. This is the correct word for cooking meat directly over heat, as in BBQ.

C — '튀기다' means to deep-fry. This involves cooking in a large amount of oil, not grilling over fire.

정답: C. 삼겹살
