Answer: B) PLUS Loan

Step-by-step explanation:

Seeing as they did not plan ahead and the children are about to start school, the best option they have is a loan. In light of that, they should go for a Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) loan.

A PLUS loan is provided by the Federal government to parents to help them pay for the tuition fees of their children at undergraduate level. It has a lower interest rate but is only given to people whose credit history are not to bad.
