Explanation:

The paragraph provides information about where caffeine is found (chocolate, coffee, etc.), how it's measured (in milligrams), and its function (a stimulant for wakefulness). It doesn't try to persuade readers to do something (like monitor intake or drink coffee) or entertain with a story. So the purpose is to inform about caffeine facts.

A. to inform readers about caffeine facts
