Ineed with thx *use attachments* **brainliest available*** ( i think its b but i'm unsure)

It does not say that there is any contact between leaders and followers. It does say that the upper classes set the trend by buying and wearing the most *expensive* fashions available. The followers see the tend and if they like it or they have confidence that it will be the next trend, they buy into it. They are a very important group: they can deal with the cheaper lines and make a style more noticeable without paying the price that the trend setter would pay.

I think B is your best answer.
