Answer: The purpose of the idiom in the statement is C. to show that Jen is in a difficult position.

Explanation: "To be between a rock and a hard place" is an idiomatic expression, that is to say it is a phrase which has a figurative meaning that native speakers understand. In that way, the purpose of the author is not to indicate that Jen is literally found between a rock and a hard place, but<u> to show that Jen has a dilemma or is in a very difficult situation which forces her to make a hard decision.  </u>

The drug, which was originally used strictly in hospital settings, was adopted by manufacturers of soaps and other home products during the 1990s, eventually ballooning into an industry that's worth an estimated $1 billion. Apart from soap, we've begun putting the chemical in wipes, hand gels, cutting boards, mattress pads and all sorts of home items as we try our best to eradicate any trace of bacteria from our environment.
