It was a legitimate question rather than a plea because Option B: People had made an investment in the country through their actions and expected to be suitably  rewarded.

Explanation:

The title of a song "Brother, Can you spare a Dime?" was written during the time of Depression in United states around 1930s. It shows the disappointment of the people because of lack of job and lack of cash during this time.

In the song, the man asks people to give me some money as was rich earlier, had money but now is jobless after Depression. He wants to be rewarded for the all hard work he has done. He is asking why is he left in the streets even though he has worked hard a lot.

In the song, a man who had been rich and respected before the Depression asks people to give him money, as he is now poor.
