Have lunch in the noon

The following is a TOEIC question

Most of us in this office ____ lunch at noon.

(A) make

(B) have

(C) bring

(D) go

In addtion to the correct answer (B), I was wondering why (C) is not a good answer. Some people may bring lunch to work, don't they? Please advise.

I see. People bring lunch to work in the morning, so they can eat at noon. Does that sound right?

Hi,

'Make' is also correct grammar. But I am sure that the examiner wants you to choose 'have'.
