Answer: Option (a) is correct option

Explanation:

Poverty and crime as high rate of connection between them as per statistic. Poverty can drag a person to commit crime or break law because of mental pressure, illness, poor living conditions etc. Person who belongs under poverty line can tend to rob, steal or get involved in criminal offense for money.

According to the question, Drake being a young boy under poverty line can tend to be arrested more likely than other people as chances of committing crime is high. He can try to fulfill his needs through illegal act.

Other options are incorrect because Talia living in halfway house, Almeda growing her children with support of welfare and Bruce being unemployed are less likely of committing any crime per their situation. Thus, the correct option is option (a)
