According to the passage, "Couples with similar backgrounds are more likely to stay together. But, more to the point, this does not hold true for every kind of similarity. It’s similarity in terms of race (whites with whites), education (highly educated with highly educated), and religiosity (very religious with very religious) that increases the chances of a sustained marriage." Therefore, the more similar a couple is in terms of race and class, the less likely they are to break up. Option A and C are the opposite of what is stated in the passage, and D is not mentioned in the text.
