Answer 1

C. by creating more freedom and convenience

Answer 2

The correct answer is C) by creating more freedom and convenience.

Thanks to the booming economy of the 1950's and the increased production of cars, millions of American citizens could now move easier than any other time before in US history. This ability to move freely helped in the increased development of suburbs, as Americans no longer needed to live close to their place of work. Along with this, families could travel and see different parts of the country much easier than before.
