Supporters of prohibition, such as preacher billy sunday, expected the prohibition would

a) encourage people to become religious

b) increase the violent crime rate

c) fix the problems of society

d) put liquor distillers out of business

The correct answer is C) fix the problems of society.

Many supporters of Prohibition were citizens who were deeply religious. This was because many religious citizens believed that alcohol was the root of multiple moral issues within the United States. This included domestic violence and disorderly conduct. Some felt that by outlawing alcohol within the United States, the country would see a decrease in poor behavior and violence. However, this was actually the opposite during the era of Prohibition as crime increased and organized gangs began fighting over territories where they sold alcohol illegally.
