The Zollverein reduced more than thirty currencies to two. What was its most direct benefit?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Commercial transactions became simpler
Using fewer currencies simplified price comparison, payment, bookkeeping, and the settlement of commercial contracts across state boundaries. Merchants no longer had to handle many separate monetary systems. Option B is correct because it states the immediate economic benefit. The other options concern land, political rights, or peasant status and do not follow from currency standardisation.
