The best option is letter B. “She was American, just as much as she was Korean, and even though her mother wouldn't have wanted her to do it, starting the food truck was Ji-Suk's way of honoring her mother and showing that she valued what her mother had taught her."

Explanation:

Ji-Suk is a character in the story "Bul-Go!-gi". While growing up, she obeyed her Korean mother and embraced her original culture as well as her American culture, but in her mother's way.

Ji-Suk's mother forced her to take Korean and violin lessons and to learn how to cook Korean delicacies. She was trying to pass on her heritage and values to her daughter: the language, the food, the hard work. However, she wanted her daughter to succeed in an American way, which she thought would be by going to college and becoming a lawyer. What Ji-Suk's mother wasn't able to realize was that such an idea was still a part of her Korean values. From her perspective, as a Korean woman, that is what success means.

Ji-Suk, on the other hand, was able to be more open than her mother. She embraced the American culture easily. She loved burnt end barbecue, she was a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, and - and maybe this was the most important factor - she learned freedom. It was Ji-Suk's American side that made it possible for her to choose the food truck over being a lawyer. Doing what she loves means being successful. She is actually honoring what her mother wanted for her, not going against it.

All the options presented in the question show a glimpse of how Ji-Suk embraced both cultures, but some of them do so in an incomplete manner. The best one is letter b. It makes it very clear the Ji-Suk was both, Korean and American, and that she was in peace with that fact and her career choice. She is able to honor her Korean values as well as her American values:

b.“She was American, just as much as she was Korean, and even though her mother wouldn't have wanted her to do it, starting the food truck was Ji-Suk's way of honoring her mother and showing that she valued what her mother had taught her."
