The game of dodgy explanations

Part of the free online games and puzzle collection provided by William Maclean's Games.

Pick the real explanation of the following phrase:

"HUMPTY DUMPTY"

Nowadays this phrase refers to a nursery rhyme about an egg that fell off a wall. In bygone times, the same phrase would have been used to describe:

(A) A boiled egg that was served with toast. The toast was cut into long thin strips so that it could be dipped into the egg yolk.

(B) A drink made of beer that is heated up and served with a dash of cognac.

(C) A shoulder bag used by farm labourers to carry crops across fields.
