What Levi Strauss and Luzena Stanley Wilson had in common is that (c.) both were entrepreneurs who started successful businesses that supplied the needs of California's Gold miners.

Levi Strauss was a German-American entrepreneur and the founder of the first company that manufactured blue jeans: Levi Strauss & Co. As well as Luzena Stanley Wilson, Levi Strauss developed his business during the California Gold Rush. Moreover, his firm was set in San Francisco; therefore, Western miners started to wear the work pants made by Levi Strauss & Co. Luzena Stanley Wilson also supplied the needs of California's Gold miners since she set up a hotel in Nevada, one of the places where miners that were becoming rich lived. The hotel was called "El Dorado"; however, it burned to the ground nine months after it was opened.
