Does that mean that everyone in the first 2 rows *and* 3C&D all picked option A? And that us, and everyone behind us only had option B if they wanted to eat?
Mathematically, that seems really unlikely.
Though the scenario is mathematically unlikely, I've witnessed it occur. While sitting in row three of an A319, I once overheard each of the first six passengers order short rib, leaving those in the back half with no choice but pasta.
