Answer: (C)

Resilience in crisis comes from people helping each other and organizing together. Omar’s experience shows neighbors and friends pooling resources, sharing information, and using what they’ve learned through education and leadership to support one another and improve life despite hardship. This highlights how internal networks and proactive guidance empower a community to endure and recover, not just endure by chance or rely solely on outside aid. The idea is that collective action, learning, and leadership within the community build lasting strength during tough times.
