A) ​you pay your roommate at least $100 but no more than $200 to clean up after her/himself
B) ​you pay your roommate at least $201 to clean up after her/himself.
C) ​you continue to live with your untidy roommate until you are able to make other living arrangements elsewhere.
D) ​your roommate pays you at least $100 to have you clean up after her/him.
