A. is the answer! Hope that helps!
Getting a high school diploma is important because it'll tell people that you graduated and know more than more drop outs about math, English, Science, and Government. If you try to apply for a job and they ask what grade you finish and if you put the grade you dropped out they won't hire you. If you don't get the a diploma you won't be able to go to college and get your masters or bachelors degree. Without a diploma you wont be able to get the dream job you wanted to get. You wont be able to afford a big house to live in and you may be living in a run down apartment or house<span />
