When dealing with credit cards, there are various factors you are judged on called a credit score.

In this particular instance, C would be the right answer. You should always have the money to pay back your credit card. If you spend $100 on your credit card, make sure you have $100 in your debit account to pay it back.

If you only make minimum payments, open many credit cards or spend a long time paying them back, you'll have a very very bad credit score (meaning everything will cost more). The difference of monthly payments on a car for example can differ from 200-650$ (for the exact same car) depending on your credit.
