D.
She will be able to find a lower paying job in New York and still have the same standard of living.

Answer 1

C. She will need to find a job that pays more than what she made when she lived in Alabama.

Explanation: A higher cost of living means prices for housing, food, transportation, etc., are higher; to maintain the same standard of living she needs higher income (or equivalent adjustments), so a higher-paying job is required.
