Explanation:

When dealing with peer pressure to join a gang, a direct and clear response is best to assert boundaries. Telling Jason he's not interested (first option) is assertive and communicates his stance clearly. Ignoring or changing the subject might not make his refusal clear, and staying quiet could be misinterpreted as interest.

Answer:

Tell Jason he is not interested in joining
