Explanation:

To determine the best inference for Tracy’s strategy, we analyze each option:

• Option A: There's no indication Christopher is obsessed with handbags/computer cases, so this is invalid.
• Option B: If Tracy compares herself (directly/indirectly) to successful entrepreneurs, it could impress Christopher by associating herself with success, making this a plausible strategy.
• Option C: Insulting someone is unlikely to impress them, so this is illogical.
• Option D: "Brainwashing" is an extreme and unfounded claim without context, so this is invalid.

Answer:

B. She directly and indirectly compares herself to successful entrepreneurs
