Answer:

C. The Age difference between the participants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Most states have a firm law where a person must be 18 years old or older to legally consent. However, some states have "romeo and juliet" laws where a two year age gap is acceptable; where a relationship a 16 and 18, 17 and 18, or 17 and 19 are legal.

I've looked into this a lot and I am SafeSport credentialed.
