When it comes to women’s clothing, most models wear a very small size, like a 2. But the average American woman is a size 14. How does this difference contribute to body image perceptions?

A. Women are going to be confused because they will imagine that they should look just like models.
b. As long as women understand that they are not supposed to look like models, there is really not an issue.
c. Manufacturers are not aware of this difference, so they rarely make clothing in sizes that accommodate average women.
d. Most women will not look like models in the same clothes, so they think there is something wrong with their bodies.
