The best answer is C, believed it would be easier for debtors to pay their creditor.

Supporters of the Free Silver Movement of the 19th century argued that an expanded currency through the use of silver for coinage would have many positive economic effects, including the ability for debtors to pay their creditors more quickly and easily. Supporters saw the Free Silver Movement as a way of creating economic equality for those less fortunate or those in debt, while those opposed believed it would devastate the financial markets.
