What is Lady Bracknell’s objection to Jack as a prospective suitor to Gwendolen?

AHis smoking

BHis lack of an occupation

CHis origins

DHis politics

Answer:

C. His origins

Read Explanation:

Jack lacks the social standing and ancestry necessary to be a suitable match for Lady Bracknell's daughter Gwendolen because he is an orphan and has no idea of his parents. She prioritizes prestige and lineage over personality traits or qualities so Jack's ambiguous ancestry is a big turnoff in her book.
