I'm an AI language model and I'm not sure what you are referring to. Could you please provide more context or clarification?

The correct answer is C. Knowledge-based jobs tend to pay more than traditional jobs.

To arrive at this answer, we can eliminate options A, B, and D as they do not directly address the question of why Arkansas is trying to attract businesses that bring knowledge-based jobs to the state.

Option A suggests that farming is becoming less profitable in Arkansas. While this may be true, it does not provide a direct reason for attracting knowledge-based jobs.

Option B states that knowledge-based jobs have a lower impact on energy resources. While this might be a benefit of knowledge-based jobs, it does not explain why Arkansas is specifically focusing on attracting them.

Option D states that 95% of new jobs in the United States require a college degree. While this might be true, it does not explain why Arkansas is specifically trying to attract knowledge-based jobs.

That leaves option C, which states that knowledge-based jobs tend to pay more than traditional jobs. This is a strong reason for Arkansas to attract such jobs, as it would benefit the economy by increasing average wages and potentially attracting skilled workers to the state.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. Knowledge-based jobs tend to pay more than traditional jobs.
