D. farmers who received little money for their work
Farmers were the group most likely to become Populists, especially during the late 19th century when the Populist movement emerged in response to economic hardships, debt, and unfair practices in agriculture and railroads. Their struggles for better prices for crops, more favorable credit terms, and political representation aligned closely with the ideals of the Populist movement.
