The rigid suspension is beneficial when

A. It is desired to reduce the unsprung mass
B. It is desired to have more flexibility in design
C. It is desired to improve tyre-to-ground contact characteristics
D. Large changes in load make it necessary to have a large suspension stroke.

Answer: D. Large changes in load make it necessary to have a large suspension stroke. 

The rigid suspension is beneficial when large changes in load make it necessary to have a large suspension stroke.

Solution:

Due to its straightforward construction, the rigid front axle suspension was employed in earlier models of vehicles. In this configuration, the front wheels are connected by a forged rigid axle, which is typically a non-drive axle. One of the principles of the design of rigid suspension systems is "to effectively absorb both minor and large road impacts using a single springing element." Hence, the rigid suspension is beneficial when large changes in load make it necessary to have a large suspension stroke.
