B and D are wrong. Read your textbook and stop guessing. Do not post another guess.
The most correct answer is C. The Interstate Highway System was designed for the rapid deployment of troops during a time of national crisis and to allow for the smooth flow of commerce - TRUCKING. It was not built for the convenience of auto driver.
