Answer:

B. over

Read Explanation:

"Over" in this context means that you will be talking or taking some similar action during the time when you are eating or drinking something, or (much more rarely) doing some other activity. If you used "with" in this case it would change the meaning. Consider these sentences. Bob and Willard fell in love over dinner means that they fell in love while they were eating their dinner. If you say: Bob and Willard fell in love with dinner it means they really, really like their dinner. Using this construction, even where it is less ambiguous, to mean "while eating dinner" is not very idiomatic. You can have wine with dinner; you have a discussion over dinner or during dinner.
