read the following excerpt from "gravity" by judith ortiz cofer:

for the greater part of my childhood i had practically lived with my parents at puerto habana. my father opened and closed the restaurant: twelve-hour days. and my mother was always on stand-by, as cook, waitress, hostess, whatever reyes needed; and almost every day, she was needed. my father thought of the restaurant as the heart of his barrio life. on the other hand, mami talked constantly about the family on the island. it was point-counterpoint every day, not quite an argument, just an ongoing discussion about where "home" was for each of them.

which is the best example of cultural conflict in this excerpt?
a. elenita's mother versus life in the barrio
b. elenita versus her father's attachment to his job
c. elenita's mother versus pop music
d. elenita versus her parents' working at puerto habana
