The correct answer is C. Corrina studied criminal justice in college in the hopes that one day she could work for the Central Intelligence Agency, otherwise known as the CIA.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to grammar, all proper nouns should be capitalized, this includes the names of people, institutions, brands, specific geographical landmarks, etc. Additionally, if a proper noun contains multiple words these should be also capitalized except by prepositions or articles. Similarly, capitalization should be used in acronyms with each letter as each of these refers to a complete word. Therefore, in the case of the sentence presented the words "Corrina" and "Central Intelligence Agency" should be capitalized as they are both proper nouns and also "CIA" should be capitalized as this is an acronym and derives from a proper name.
