b. A low-income White teen who lives with her aunt and has no other family.

Rationale: Research (including Alan Guttmacher Institute findings) shows that low socioeconomic status and not living with one’s biological parents (weaker parental supervision/support) are strong predictors of earlier sexual activity and unplanned teen births; strong parental support/religion and two-parent/middle-class households are generally protective.
