The correct answer is "except."

Key Points

  • The blank in the sentence implies that the subject was allowed to eat anything but the rice pudding.
  • Thus, the usage of the word "accept" is incorrect.
    • It should be replaced with the correct spelling i.e. "except."
    •  'Except' means to exclude or leave out.(के अलावा)
      • ​Example: The shop is open everyday except on Sunday.
  • ​​Thus, the correct sentence will be: 
    • ​You can eat anything you like except the rice pudding.

​​Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Additional Information
