The correct answer is C) Lincoln wanted to heal the wounds of the Civil War as quickly as possible.

The statement that best explains why President Lincoln supported the Ten Percent Plan to readmit former Confederate states to the Union is "Lincoln wanted to heal the wounds of the Civil War as quickly as possible."

After the victory of the Union Army over the Confederated States that ended the Civil War, President Lincoln wanted a quick union of the country. He created the Ten Percent Plan where only 10% of the people of the each Souther State had to make a swore of allegiance to the Union for the Souther state to be readmitted. Lincoln really wanted a quick Reconstruction process.
