Option A.

"Who has the most hope?" I asked.

Mom and Dad looked at each other. They studied each other's eyes, you know, like they had antennas and were sending radio signals to each other. And then they both looked back at me.

"Come on, I said. "Who has the most hope?"

"White people," my parents said at the same time. (6.7-6.10)
