Question

what factor is often considered when determining eligibility for need - based financial aid? the students academic performance; the students choice of major; the financial situation of the students family; the students participation in extracurricular activities

Academic performance, major choice, and extracurriculars are not core factors for need-based eligibility (they may matter for merit-based aid instead).

Answer:

C. The financial situation of the student's family
