Answer:

A.  To give more people a say in choosing candidates.

Explanation:

The Jacksonian years saw a call to transform candidate nomination from a closed caucus exercise to a more democratic procedure. And it was precisely in the era of Andrew Jacskon that party conventions started, as he defined and presented himself as the people´s president, the president of the common man. Also, the 1824 polemic and disputed election - "The Corrupt Bargain" - contributed to materializing the idea of party conventions. The practice started in 1832.
