d: she is the second oldest in her family

The correct answer is C.

An achieved status is a status you worked for. It is not given to you by birth or by belonging to a special social class, neither it is determined by your position within the family.

Jordyn was part of a rich family but this did not give her an education. She had to go to college and she had to learn and pass exams as many other students. The graduation is her achievement and her achieved status.

Coming from a rich family may have made studying easier for her as she wouldn't have had to worry about finances during her college years.
