Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

This scenario can be used to show that both, Hedonistic and desire-fulfillment theories are true. Hedonism exposes that, to be happy, pleasure should preponderate over pain, even if a person does not fulfill his or her dreams. In this case, Jamie prefers to get pleasure by looking at roads even if she has to decline that job, which could be a good one. Moreover, desire-fulfillment theory expresses that the fulfillment of a person´s desires helps him or her achieve happiness. Since Jamie declines her job to accomplish her desire of spending time looking at roads, she contributes to her happiness.
