c. he doesnt want to leave his family behind

Explanation:

1. In the context of political discussions, if broadcasters and religious leaders are lying (as in option c), it would be frustrating when someone (like Marjane) repeats what they've heard (false information). Options a and b don't directly relate to the frustration from false - information dissemination.
2. Option a: If he thinks Iran's troubles are temporary, he would want to stay. Option b: The fear of a lower - paying job in a new country is a valid reason to not want to leave. Option c: Not wanting to leave family behind is also a common reason for not emigrating.

Answer:

1. c
2. a, b, c
