Answer:
I believe the best option to be letter C. The perfect cruiser for Lance Kenniston and Hold Or was being used as a pleasure cruiser for rich Earth kids.
Explanation:
A summary is a short overview of a paragraph, an excerpt, an essay, a book etc. It is supposed to filter the important information through, leaving out any accessory details that won't affect the reader's knowledge of the main facts.
After reading the excerpt in the question, we have to choose the best summary for it. All options presented do summarize the information learned through the excerpt, however options A, B, and D focus on the accessory details, the ones that are less important.
The excerpt does not revolve around Hold Or's origin and color, or where he and Kenniston were taking their things, or even Loring's being a rich girl. Those are mentioned to add up extra information onto the main one, which is: Kenninston and Hold Or need a cruiser to transport something, but the perfect cruiser for them is already being used by some rich kids from Earth. All the other facts may have some impact in the story later on but, right now, in this excerpt, that's what readers need to know.
