Final Answer : C, Explanation :  This is the best choice because it directly answers the question by highlighting your qualifications and skills. This showcases what you can bring to the organization and why you would be a valuable asset. Listing past organizations is not necessarily relevant to the question, explaining your financial situation may raise concerns about your dedication to the job, and stating that you have travelled a long distance is not a strong enough reason to hire someone.
