I believe the correct answer is differential opportunity theory.
According to this theory, our social and economic environment is crucial when determining whether a person is going to have success by using either legitimate or illegitimate means. Based on Tommy's background and the actions of his parents, and those of his own, he doesn't have many legal job opportunities he can pursue.

It also showed that there were only 9% of people who are earning above $1,200 and this shows that not many people would have earned that but due to the background the amount of job opportunity the wages the seller which which all contribute and in this scenario

There are four option but the correct answer would be A as it also shows that not many people that much then having a poor background is a very good explanation to put this through. you you also tells that only a minority and above $1,200

So the correct answer is A
