C was the correct answer; however, looking at the Wikipedia page for Jheri Redding I don't see any mention of him being Irish-American or being a farm boy. It say he was a young man from Chicago, who moved to Los Angeles after WWII. And "Jheri" was a nickname, not his given name.

If you don't read the comics or if you didn't see the movie, this would be difficult.

Sounds like a bad question. Perhaps John should protest and maybe get a second shot.

Ironically, it also says his given name was Robert.
I don't think Bob can possibly be right. The bob haircut wasn't named for a person - Webster says the usage of bob to mean to cut short (as in "bob-tailed nag") dates to 1675.
