The correct answer is A. The first element in each pair moves among instances of the second element.

If you consider job to be an idea of what a job represents, a place where you earn money, all kinds of jobs become instances of the same idea, thus creating Place A where one could earn money, Place B, Place C, etc. Nathan is an element who switches between these instances constantly.
