Which statement is an example of cause-and-effect organization? a. need a job? come to the job fair on november 15 to learn about opportunities in the greater chicago area. b. after you pass the traffic light at mcgregor avenue, take the next right. our house is the third house from the corner. c. harvey's pretzel stand will close due to its inability to secure the special salts needed for the pretzels. d. our toothpaste is less expensive than the competition, and it makes your teeth whiter, too.

The right answer is the alternative  "C.Harvey's Pretzel Stand will close due to its inability to secure the special salts needed for the pretzels."

This is the right alternative because an organization of cause and effect refers to the relation of two consecutive events, where one was caused by the other.

The alternative letter C is the only one that expresses this. The phrase "Harvey's Pretzel Stand will close" is the effect. This will close "because of their inability to ensure the special salts needed for the pretzels." which is the cause.
