Question

A. the growth of too many crops

B. the need to build the Panama Canal

C. the expansion of business and industry

D. the army's need for new rifles

Answer 1

C.. expansion of business and industry

(While A is similar, which could have been written "as expansion of agriculture" similar to C "expansion of business and industry". by saying "too many crops" it's not true) need for army rifles or building the Panama Canal are clearly not reasons for expanding the money supply. C is the best answer
