Let's calculate the cost of one salad and one small drink:
One salad costs $2.49
One small drink costs $0.99
The total for one person to get a salad and a drink is:
$2.49 (salad) + $0.99 (drink) = $3.48
Both you and your friend together would spend:
$3.48 (per person) x 2 = $6.96
You have $8.00 in total and spending $6.96 leaves you with:
$8.00 - $6.96 = $1.04
With the remaining $1.04, you can afford another small drink since it costs $0.99, but you cannot afford another salad since it costs $2.49.
Thus, the answer is:
C ) yes, one drink
