a. he has to take care of a sick family member.

b. he is getting old and wants to see the rest of the country.

c. she has wanted to move west for several years, and now hes taking her there.

d. she wants to invest in oil wells to try to strike it rich.

Explanation:

In "The Great Gatsby", George Wilson wants to move west with Myrtle because Myrtle has desired to move west for some time, and he is acting on that desire to get away from the current situation and start fresh, which aligns with option C. Option A is incorrect as there's no sick family member reason. Option B is wrong as age and seeing the country aren't his motives. Option D is incorrect as Myrtle's interest isn't in oil well investments for moving west.

Answer:

C. She has wanted to move west for several years, and now he's taking her there.
