b.

Explanation:

Trips are always a worrisome experience for parents, and if it a girl, the concern runs too high. Depending upon social milieu in which the girl lives, parents are hesitant, doubtful and uncomfortable when it comes to trip. Jamie needs to argue something that can be memorable, which means arguments which her parents could keep in their memory or understand it, or might have experienced it to be fair.
