Answer:

At least three seismic stations

Explanation:

To determine an earthquake epicenter requires coordination between at least three seismographs. This is because a seismograph is only capable of registering the strength and amplitude of an earthquake; that is to a say, a single seismograph can register the occurrence of an earthquake. This describes a circle with the seismograph at the center. A second seismograph, which can be hundreds or thousands of miles away, can generate a similar plot. The circles from these two stations cross each other at two points. Finally, the third station points to the epicenter as the only place where all three circles intersect.

She has been through a lot and learned a lot and had some time to study though life experiences, which gives her a good base and potential advantage over the other students. Having a car isn't that much of an advantage, and the other two options are disadvantages.
