Answer:

C

Explanation:

Nobody sells the tires from their (likely) only way of getting around. They are poor. She's 32 and things are not looking that bright for her. She's scrounging to keep her family fed.

I don't get the impression that she works. She's living off the land. I wouldn't pick b unless you know more of the story. So unless you know differently, B is not the answer.

It can't be D. She's not choosing to live the way she does. It's forced on her.

I don't get the impression she farms.

I think your answer is C
