The correct answer is A. Life won't be easy, but keep pushing through it.
She says that life hasn't been 'no crystal stair' for her - she had to go through a lot of hardships, but she never thought of giving up. She always pushed through every difficulty life gave her and that is the advice that she can give to her son.
