The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

We need to determine which combination of friend, dish, and drink corresponds to the correct arrangement based on the given clues. 
Step 1: Analyze the clues.
Clue 1: Aditi didn't order pizza or cola. This means Aditi must have ordered a dish other than pizza, and her drink is also not cola.
Clue 2: Bharat ordered salad but not lemonade. Therefore, Bharat must have ordered salad, and his drink is not lemonade.
Clue 3: Chandan ordered pasta. Thus, Chandan's dish is pasta, and we need to determine his drink.
Clue 4: Deepika didn't order burger or orange juice. Therefore, Deepika must have ordered something other than a burger and orange juice, so her dish is not burger or orange juice.
Clue 5: Aditi ordered orange juice. Since Aditi ordered orange juice, we know her drink is orange juice.
Step 2: Deduce who ordered the burger.
Aditi ordered orange juice, and she didn't order pizza or cola, so Aditi must have ordered pasta or salad. But since Chandan ordered pasta, Aditi must have ordered salad.
Bharat ordered salad but not lemonade, and since Aditi ordered salad, Bharat must have ordered the burger.
Thus, Bharat ordered the burger and the drink is water, as Aditi has already ordered orange juice.
Step 3: Analyze Deepika’s order.
Deepika didn't order burger or orange juice. Since the burger is already ordered by Bharat and Aditi has orange juice, Deepika must have ordered cola.
Therefore, Deepika ordered cola and the burger was ordered by Bharat.
Thus, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\text{Deepika, cola}}. \]
