Answer: the author compares baxters lack of experience in politics to that of a driver without a license (B) edge
Explanation:
I would say B, though transgress can be used two ways; with and without a verb. With a verb it means passing limitations such as dimensions of time or space (as used in Science-Fiction novels).
