zloy xaker [14]

Answer: a. Reports indicate that students are particularly vulnerable to these tactics. If you fail to pay off the balance, you end up paying much more than the original purchase price for your items.

Explanation:

They would be more prone to spend more in the store as a result of the credit card and this will lead to them being unable to pay off balances which will then lead to them paying much more than the original price they would have paid.
