Explanation:

The question that comes with these options asks why the fast food industry mainly employs teenagers, according to the book Fast Food Nation. Although we are used to the idea of teenagers working at fast food restaurants, this is not a necessary or unavoidable situation. The author argues that the industry is set up in this way because this benefits the industry. Teenagers are generally easier to control, have no job skills (and would therefore struggle to find other work) and tend to accept low wages, as their economic needs are quite low. This makes them the perfect employees for such an industry.
