David Rudenko · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The request for a specific amount (37 cents) is more likely to elicit compliance than a vague request for some money or a general amount like a quarter. The specific amount implies that the requester has a specific need and also reduces the psychological cost of compliance for the person being asked.
