Answer
A
Many Americans had more money and more leisure time.
B
Many Americans had less money and less leisure time.
C
Many Americans had electricity and fewer household chores.
D
Many Americans had cars that were affordable and popular.

Explanation

During the 1920s, rising incomes gave many Americans more money to spend, and increased leisure time gave them more opportunities to shop and enjoy new products. This helped consumerism grow. Electricity and affordable cars also encouraged consumption, but “more money and more leisure time” is the broadest description of a cause.
