Answer:

A.

Explanation:

"Will the 'right' college major get you a job?" is an article written by Glenn Altschuler. In the article, the author talks about the pros and cons of choosing major in the college, especially the popular major or occupation-specific major.

Peter Cappelli, a professor of management, claims that choosing a popular major or occupation-specific major will not help. In paragraph 16 and 17, Cappelli draws our attention to the increasing number of enrolment in such majors as petroleum engineering, science, technology, engineering, and maths. He remarks that a large number of students enroll in these programs but only few percent of these students actually make earning after graduating.

The conclusion of the article is that one should choose the major of his/he interest and what they like the most. Rather than choosing a major that is not of your interest.

Therefore, option A is correct.
